Session 4412 - Strategies for Selecting the Right BI Client Product Based on Your Own Requirements
This session examines, in detail, each of the solutions available in the SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x portfolio and evaluates their capabilities and suitability to meet specific reporting needs. Understand why some solutions are not an appropriate choice for certain reporting and analytic scenarios, such as high-level management KPIs or detailed, drill-down analyses. Find out how the various SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x solutions can be integrated and leveraged in a complementary manner, and understand the steps required to do so. Learn an approach that you can use to leverage your business requirements and how to use those requirements and match them against the strength and weaknesses of the BI products. You will see how you can use the approach to find the right tool for the job.
I hope to see some of you in my sessions and I am really looking forward to all your questions.
