Business Objects 2000

general discussion
1

I’ve seen mention of “Business Objects 2000” in Information Week, and now a press release on the BusObj corporate site. Is this the existing products (ie Reporter 5.0.x) all packaged together, or new versions (like the infamous “5i”)? Anyone know?

Just curious…

This has already been addressed. But…

BO 2000 is the name of the suite. It is just a marketing name for 5.1/2.6/5.i. It also includes all other products that BO sells including Business Query and Set Analyzer.

BO 2000 is NOT a product that you can order.

Yes this is the “new” name for the existing product line. I believe they are shooting for a new naming consistency for the product line.

Basically, BO2000 is just a “marketing umbrella” for all of their product offerings combined, and not a separate/new product.

See the press release at SAP Software Solutions | Business Applications and Technology

The link to BO2000 info on their web page just takes you to the default list of all their products at SAP Software Solutions | Business Applications and Technology

This is another marketting term for 5i/5.1/2.6 as a packaged deployment.
