- 4. ➢ SpagoBI Server is the main module of the SpagoBI suite, offering the core and analytical functionalities. It provides two conceptual models (Analytical Model, Behavioural Model), administration tools and cross-platform services. ➢ SpagoBI Studio allows the developer to design and modify analytical documents such as reports, charts, GEO and cockpits. The module also supports the deployment phase, where the analytical documents have to be tested and released on SpagoBI Server, with which it interacts through SpagoBI SDK. FEW MORE INFORMATION
