BO Workshop

Body Odour?
Don't be an idiot!

It's Business Objects. SAP newly acquired company.

These 4 days, I am attending this workshop on Business Objects. It's held at SMU, opposite Rendevous Hotel. Since it is not at the hotel, don't seem to have complimentory car park available.

I had to park at Plaza Singapura, where it seems to be the cheapest. I have to walk about 10 minutes to be at the correct SMU compound.

Their compound is sort of disparringly located at different locations around Bugis & Dhoby Ghaut area. Don't know where is the good place for parking though.
Anyway, it costs me about $10 to park for 1 whole day there, so it is still relatively ok considering the location.

Anyway, the workshop is kinda interesting. Learning new stuff is always interesting, but doing the work at later stage might be a different story. hehehe

The user interface, and presentation is simply too cool, way better than SAP's flagship BEx product. However, some of the features are still not as good. Can't really compare, as BEx is quite tightly integrated to SAP products, so it has its advantages there.

Roadmap says that will change, and BO will take precedence as the premium package, above the base package with BEx. So die die also have to learn BO.

There's many software related to that. Crystal Report is definitely one. There's also Web Intelligence, Xcelcius and Voyager. There's also something newly developed called Polestar, but still in some infancy stage apparently.

So many more things to learn. Still have to learn Microsoft's PPS2007, and Qlikview.
Wah piang, becoming like Jack of all trades soon.

Don't call me Jack.
