Seeking to significantly expand the market for business intelligence tools and services, SAP today rolled out a new cloud-based offering that replaces two existing software-as-a-service (SaaS) BI products.

The company’s new SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand offering is targeted at line-of-business users who may perform data analysis using personal spreadsheets rather than secure BI tools, company officials said.
