Upcoming Webcasts – We’re Listening

Please join us on October 14^th for our next webcast Best Practices for Building Great Web Intelligence Reports – an Insider’s Perspective

As an SAP Support Veteran, the presenter has seen it all. Hundreds of Web Intelligence documents from just as many customers, from the super simple to the extremely complex and everything in between. Over the years, the speaker has discovered a number of best practices that can help report designers unlock the potential from their Web Intelligence documents and design high-quality, high-performing reports. This session will cover best practices for Web Intelligence design and will include some insight from the Web Intelligence development team themselves. This session will cover everything from Semantic Layer to Report Design, and you’ll walk away with a number of practical tips you can apply right away. Join this session for an insider’s view on Web Intelligence best practices.
