=== Legal ===
On April 2, 2007, a lawsuit from [[Informatica]] (inherited by Business Objects from the purchase of Acta Technologies in 2002) resulted in an award of $25 million in damages to Informatica for [[patent infringement]]. The lawsuit related to embedded data flows with one input and one output. Informatica asserted that the ActaWorks product (later sold by Business Objects as part of [[BusinessObjects Data Integrator|Data Integrator]]), infringed several Informatica patents including US Patent Nos. 6,014,670 and 6,339,775, both titled "Apparatus and Method for Performing Data Transformations in Data Warehousing." Business Objects subsequently released a new version of [[BusinessObjects Data Integrator|Data Integrator]] (11.7.2) which removed the infringing product capability.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sap.com/corporate-en/press/newsroom/businessobjects/20070402_006417.epx |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120726194901/http://www.sap.com/corporate-en/press/newsroom/businessobjects/20070402_006417.epx |archive-date=26 July 2012 |url-status=live |title=BusinessObjects Issues Statement on Informatica Lawsuit |publisher=BusinessObjects |access-date=2007-06-01 }}</ref>
