Thanks MJ,

SAP BO BI 4.0:
letÂ’s start with a review of some of the new naming conventions, and a few of the key changes:
• SAP Business Objects Enterprise will now be known as SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence Platform
• InfoView will now be referred to as the BI Launch Pad.
• SAP Business Objects Web Intelligence has been left with its current name – you may see it referred to as SAP Business Objects Interactive Analysis.
• Business Objects Voyager is replaced by SAP Business Objects Advanced Analysis, a brand new OLAP tool focusing on ad-hoc multi-dimensional analysis of data. The tool can be used either from the desktop, as an Excel plug-in (edition for Microsoft Office) or as a web application (edition for OLAP)
• The Xcelsius name has now gone the way of the dinosaurs – the Enterprise tool will now be known as SAP Business Objects Dashboards Design
• For small businesses, a standalone dashboard product will be available, called SAP Crystal Dashboard Design. This product is available in 4 flavors – Departmental Edition, Viewing Option, Personal Edition and Presentation Design
• SAP Crystal Reports remains with the same name.
• SAP Business Objects Explorer will also retain with the same name.
• The term Dashboard Builder has been replaced with BI Workspaces.
• Business Objects Designer will remain, but a significantly revised and updated new product named the Information Design Tool is now also available for the creation of the semantic layer
• The Import Wizard will be replaced by the Upgrade Management Tool, for the purposes of migrating content on to the new platform

Namaste,

Drop the “Advanced”, just Analysis, MS Office Edition, etc. will do

The old tool ist STILL around, now called Universe Design Tool. The new tool with multi-source capabilites, etc. is called [i]Information Design Tool /i.

Regarding beloved Crystal:

There are now two different versions out there:

  • Crystal Reports for Enterprise (can only use universes as data sources) and
  • Crystal Reports 2011 (stand-alone product, direct successor to CR 2008)
    These two disjunct CR versions will merge together in 2012 possibly/hopefully.
