Business Objects Introduction training course

Business Objects Introduction - 1 Day course

This course is suitable for users wishing to learn how to create queries and build reports using Business Objects Desktop Intelligence XI or users of earlier "Full client" versions 5 and 6. It is not suitable for those wishing to learn Web Intelligence versions of the software.

Business Objects is a reporting tool for SQL compliant databases. It allows users to prepare custom reports from a number of databases through a Business Objects Universe, which in turn facilitates advanced reporting and data analysis.

This course is designed for those who have little or no previous experience and who wish to learn how to build queries and create reports using Business Objects. The course aims to provide a good basic grounding in the use of Business Objects for presenting and analysing information, and for sharing that information with others within your organisation.

The course is based around the eFashion sample universe that is provided with the Business Objects software.  

At the end of the course you should feel confident about using the basic reporting features of Business Objects.
