Unified Architecture and New Security Model
Repositories that store Managed Reporting content, ReportCaster information, security roles and privileges, and other metadata for WebFOCUS' web tier components have been unified into a single RDBMS-based repository, which simplifies administration and configuration.
The new security model itself is extremely flexible, allowing for custom roles, granular assignment of privileges, and control of the user interface experience.
New multi-tenancy capabilities facilitate centralized administration and deployment of SaaS and externally-facing Business Intelligence applications.
For new implementations, WebFOCUS Resource Templates simplify the creation of security policies for both enterprise reporting and multi-tenancy SaaS deployments.

RStat: Why Analytic Applications
Analytic Applications: Targeted to well defined business or functional problems
Examples: Activity Based Cost Accounting, EBITA, etc. Based on well known and established methodologies Repeatable across industries with small variations
The Problem: IT cannot build them Business users have knowledge how to use but lack the knowledge to
create requirements IT lacks the business knowledge
Packaged Advantages: Time to market Extend BI usage without straining development resources
