Microfinance Game for SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
I just came across something really cool. It’s a ‘game’ about micro-finance. It looks like Opportunity International has opened up their data to an Explorer application, and they’ve made a quiz game about it.
Go to: http://microfinance.sap.com
Microfinance is the concept of lending small amounts of money (small to us) to aspiring entrepreneurs in the developing world. The recipients don’t want hand-outs, but their areas lack financial infrastructure. The financiers (regular people like you and me) benefit from an ROI, but also from doing some good in the developing world.
Aside from being good exposure to microfinance, the game shows the power of SAP BusinessObjects Explorer – a new tool that’s bound to make BI ever more pervasive. In this quiz game, which takes less than 5 minutes, you can answer 5 detailed questions using a large and complex data-set. I can imagine this would take hours with Excel … even if I had a Data Analyst on the phone.
Check it out!
