Deas Our company just bought Business Objects and I asked for the useful and productive. I've looked at almost every book on the subject and have not found all of them to show you how to write reports to. I was scared at first because it printed a presentation and the nature of the manuals are usually not very helpful. Not so with this book. This is by far the best guide for people who write reports in Business Objects. Each concept is described and examples. It is presented in a logical order and the information is readily available to quickly get a refresher course on a specific task. We looked at bringing in outside consultants to help us with training, but when we found this book we have been able to avoid those costs. A great help to any organization working with Business Objects 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

June 4 people found the following review helpful. Book by John Stevens bought this book useful and was very helpful. Schmidt also came to our company to guide us. It was amazing. He finished all our reports suggest that other, and we think best I've ever spent. He was here for two days and could do more work than the consultant who had a month ago!
