Business intelligence software is primarily used by large companies, but Business Objects hopes to change that with a new offering released Monday. The company's Crystal Decisions, Standard Edition, starting at $20,000 for five users, is targeted at businesses with less than $1 billion in revenue.

The company says it developed the product to be easier to deploy and implement than its enterprise-class offerings, but without sacrificing features. Standard Edition offers ad hoc reporting, query and analysis; dashboards and visualizations; ability to access company data in Microsoft Office and SharePoint; and an open platform that's designed to integrate with existing applications.
