Business Objects a good option for complex data analysis
Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business Objects
I have professional experience in business intelligence. The SAP BO solution can be used in any department of an organization. This system solves any problem regarding data integration or data consolidation. It allows users to analyze information, see trends, and define KPIs with very powerful reporting and visualization tools.
- It´s a very complete suite, that covers all needs in a BI project - extraction, data consolidation, data warehouse design, report and analysis tools.
- The dashboard designer is very powerful and it´s an easy way to visually key operational tracking data like KPIs and scorecards.
- The data services is a very complete tool for data extraction and information consolidation. Allows for multiple connections and workflows.
- The middleware is very complex, sometimes you don´t know how to configure data connections.
- The business objects tools are the result of various acquisitions, sometimes the integration between them is not complete.
- A high level of specialization is necessary to configure BO.
Business object is a very complete BI suite and its highly developed. I think is very suitable for companies with high complexity data and analysis.
