SAP Business Objects Web Intelligence - Advanced

Course Description

This Advanced Business Objects Reporter Course pretty much takes over where the Intro course left off. Here you'll develop your skills and discover just how powerful the software really is. There will be some revision of key concepts developed during the Introductory training course for those who need it, which might also make this course useful for those of you who have been using SAP Business Objects for a while, but have never received any formal training.
