The business enterprise platform may then provide to the customer at least one pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database. Moreover, customization of the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database by the customer and/or a service provider may be automatically facilitated. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer implemented method, the method comprising: installing, by a business enterprise platform, a database associated with a customer of the business enterprise platform; providing, from the business enterprise platform to the customer, at least one pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database; and automatically facilitating customization, by the customer, of the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database for an end user of a service provider associated with the customer, wherein the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database comprises a CalcView associated with a CalcEngine. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: customizing, by the end user of the service provider, the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: customizing, by another end user of another service provider, the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database to create a plurality of customized views associated with the customer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing, from the business enterprise platform to another customer, the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database; customizing, by the other customer, the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database for another end user of another service provider associated with the other customer. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) data security, (ii) a scrambling operation, (iii) data encryption, or (iv) a randomization function. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) a password, (ii) a user name, or (iii) a SHOW_DATA key value. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) a localization of information in the database, (ii) a correction of information in the database, (iii) a removal of information in the database, (iv) a replacement of information in the database, or (v) a database join operation. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said customizing is associated with a data filtering operation. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein said data filtering operation is associated with at least one of: (i) a column-based filter, (ii) a row-based filter, or (iii) a filter rule. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) column sums, (ii) a maximum value over a period of time, (iii) a minimum value over period of time, or (iv) multi-column aggregations. ### Claim 11 (canceled) ### Claim 12 A system comprising: a storage platform storing a database installed by a business enterprise platform, the database being associated with a customer of the business enterprise platform; and a view engine associated with the customer, the view engine to: (i) receive from the business enterprise platform at least one pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database, and (ii) facilitate customization, by the customer, of the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database for an end user of a service provider associated with the customer, wherein the at least one pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database comprises a CalcView associated with a CalcEngine. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) data security, (ii) a scrambling operation, (iii) data encryption, or (iv) a randomization function. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) a password, (ii) a user name, or (iii) a SHOW_DATA key value. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) a localization of information in the database, (ii) a correction of information in the database, (iii) a removal of information in the database, (iv) a replacement of information in the database, or (v) a database join operation. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) a data filtering operation, (ii) a column-based filter, (iii) a row-based filter, or (iv) a filter rule. ### Claim 17 A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program code executable by a computer processor to perform a method, wherein execution of the code causes the computer processor to: install, by a business enterprise platform, a database associated with a customer of the business enterprise platform; provide, from the business enterprise platform to the customer, at least one pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database; and facilitate customization, by the customer, the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database for an end user of a service provider associated with the customer, wherein the pre-defined configurable view of the information in the database comprises a CalcView associated with a CalcEngine. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The medium of claim 17, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) data security, (ii) a scrambling operation, (iii) data encryption, or (iv) a randomization function. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The medium of claim 18, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) a password, (ii) a user name, or (iii) a SHOW_DATA key value. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The medium of claim 17, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) a localization of information in the database, (ii) a correction of information in the database, (iii) a removal of information in the database, (iv) a replacement of information in the database, or (v) a database join operation. ### Claim 21 (depends on 17) The medium of claim 17, wherein said customizing is associated with at least one of: (i) a data filtering operation, (ii) a column-based filter, (iii) a row-based filter, or (iv) a filter rule.
