PRICING AND LICENSING AT A GLANCE

Xcelsius® from Business Objects, an SAP company, is the first and only data visualization
software that enables users of different skill levels – in small, mid-size and enterprise
companies – to transform complex business data into actionable visual information at an
affordable, unbeatable cost.

HOW MUCH DOES XCELSIUS 2008 COST?

Addressing different budget and requirements, Xcelsius 2008 is available in four editions –
Present, Engage, Engage Server, and Enterprise.

XCELSIUS PRESENT ($195 USD)

Transform Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into interactive data
presentations and share them via Microsoft PowerPoint, Word,
and Adobe PDF.

For each copy purchased, you may:

Design data presentations: One named user may install and
use Xcelsius Present features to create data presentations and
visual models. A design license cannot be shared among
multiple individuals. If you require additional design licenses, you can purchase additional
Xcelsius Present licenses.
Share data presentations: With Xcelsius Present, you may share your data presentations
with an unlimited number of users.

XCELSIUS ENGAGE ($895 USD)

Create interactive dashboards and data presentations from
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or a single live data source – and
share them live via PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Adobe PDF,
Crystal Reports® 2008, and the Web.

For each copy purchased, you may:

Design dashboards: One named user may install and use
Xcelsius Engage features to create dashboards and visual
models. A design license cannot be shared among multiple
individuals. If you require additional design licenses, you may purchase additional Xcelsius
Engage licenses. Xcelsius Engage may not be used to create dashboards and visual models
connected to SAP data systems, BusinessObjects™ Enterprise or BusinessObjects Edge Series.
Share self-contained and live dashboards: With Xcelsius Engage, you also may share, with
an unlimited number of users, self-contained dashboards and dashboards connected to a live
data source – as long as they are not connected to SAP data systems, BusinessObjects platforms or
distributed as part of a commercial sales, rental, or lease.
XCELSIUS ENGAGE SERVER 5 CAL ($7,500 USD)
You get everything in Xcelsius Engage plus connectivity to multiple
data sources, Flynet automatic Web service generator,
connectivity to Adobe LiveCycle Data Services, Microsoft
SharePoint and Reporting Services integration kits, IBM
WebSphere integration kit, and five concurrent access licenses.

For each copy purchased, you may:

Design dashboards: One named user may install and use
Xcelsius Engage Server features to create dashboards and
visual models. A design license cannot be shared among multiple individuals. If you require
additional design licenses, you may purchase additional Xcelsius Engage Server licenses.
Xcelsius Engage Server may not be used to create dashboards and visual models connected
to SAP data systems, BusinessObjects Enterprise or BusinessObjects Edge Series.
Share self-contained and live dashboards: With Xcelsius Engage Server, you may share
dashboards and visual models connected to live data sources (excluding BusinessObjects
Enterprise and BusinessObjects Edge Series) with five concurrent users. If you require
additional concurrent access licenses, you can purchase additional Xcelsius Engage Server
licenses. You also may share self-contained dashboards and dashboards connected to live data
sources (excluding SAP, BusinessObjects Enterprise and BusinessObjects Edge Series), via methods
other than Flynet web services, Xcelsius connectivity to Microsoft Reporting Services and Adobe
LiveCycle Data Services, with an unlimited number of users. Xcelsius Engage Server connected
visualizations cannot be distributed as part of a commercial sales, rental, or lease.

How does the Concurrent Access License (CAL) work? Xcelsius Engage Server CALs
allow for concurrent live data updates inside Xcelsius dashboards. Every time an end-user
triggers a Web service inside an Xcelsius dashboard to retrieve live data, a CAL is consumed
for a period of 5 minutes. For that period, in a five CAL deployment for example, there will be
only four CALs left for consumption. A five CAL deployment could support up to 25 users and
additional CALs can be added to support a larger deployment.

BUSINESSOBJECTS XCELSIUS ENTERPRISE

designed for use with the BusinessObjects Enterprise and BusinessObjects Edge Series, the
industry’s most trusted business intelligence platform. With Xcelsius Enterprise, your
dashboards leverage live connectivity, interactivity, and secure access to the semantic layer.
