Hi Madhavi,

It is good to learn SAP as per the current market.Now almost each and every company implementing SAP.

BI is very good Reportig tool as well as data staing and also for all new dimentional Products BI will act as a Source.

Recently SAP purchased Business Object also.As you know BO is also reporting tool.But for BO also we can use BI as a source.

Main Imp of BI :

Flexible to Impliment

Query desigining is simple.

Reports will directky display in Excel itself.So that user can analyse the reports.

Above are sample eaxmples.

So my suggestion do not hegitate to learn BI.Very Good desicion.

Regards

Ram.
