Additional License Options

The following table lists additional licenses that may be purchased - they are not available out of the box.

Contact your Pyramid sales executive for details of pricing.

License

Description

Tabulate

The Tabulate package enables access to the Tabulate model, enabling users to design and build business models and decision models. It provides a live connection to multiple data queries, enabling users to report and build models on data that can change dynamically.

Solve

The Solve engine for Tabulate enables access to the Solve model, providing a set of wizards and engines designed to let users build decision models and drive advanced optimization logic for what-if and prescriptive analyses.

The type of Solve engine - standard or enterprise - depends on your Solve license. For more information, see Solve Access.

White labeling

The white labeling package allows admins to change the branding of the application, and to disable or customize help and support links.

OEM

The OEM package enables interactions between Pyramid and their partners, without including the customers of those partners. In this scenario, the customers typically use a white labeled version of the system which is managed by the partners on their behalf. The functionality includes:

  • Messaging: Messages from Pyramid are sent to the partner using the standard Inbox functionality. The customer does not see these messages.

  • Version Availability: When a new version of Pyramid is released, only the Enterprise Administrator is notified about the new release and any associated activities.

Embed

The Embed package in Pyramid allows BI developers to embed visuals, reports and dashboards from Discover or Present into any website. Two modes are available. Either can be implemented, but not both.

  • Anonymous Embedding: All users of the embedded content connect as a single Pyramid user. Custom Data and Custom localization are available to provide virtual data and content security.

  • Named Embedding: Each user of the embedded content connects with their own named user credentials. Custom Data and Custom localization are NOT available. Data and content security is provided via their user ID and role membership only.

Report Bursting

The Report Bursting license enables users to send Publication and Subscription generated content as attachments when distributing using email. Without this option, the content is presented as a link for downloading content in the email.

Premium Data Connectors

Access to certain data sources like SAP BW, SAP HANA, HANA Cloud, and DataSphere.

OData

Access to the OData feed from Pyramid - allowing other data applications to use data from Pyramid reports and content.

Multi-Tenancy

Enables multi-tenant operations. Typically used by customers who provide hosted service to their customers.

Watsonx

Watsonx LLMs can be licensed through Pyramid, to provide a hermetically sealed LLM sandbox for all relevant generative-BI functionality.
