business objects certification

[Former Member]

Hi,

What is the road map for business objects crystal reports 2008, xcelsius, BODI and BOXI?

i am planning to take certification in business objects, especially on the reporting side. does crystal and xcelsius both need to be taken in my quest for opportunities?

if BI is tehre, why there is a need for BOXI or BODI as separate certification areas?

Thanks,

Murali.

BODI and BOXI are two different product of ETL and reporting resp.

hi kuldeep,

thanks for responding. but, since SAP BI is already a ETL tool, do you think BOXI/DI as an ETL tool will still be running parallel to SAP BI or are they going to be abandoned?

As for job prospects, do you think BO reporting tools like crystal and xcelcius have better prospects than BOXI/DI?

Thanks,
