### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive Guide for Developers and Analysts
*by J***A on November 9, 2012*

SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 The Complete Reference is just that: a complete overview and guide to the latest version of the Business Objects suite of analytical applications. The authors have done an admirable job of updating the material from the previous versions of the book; preserving content that is still applicable to the new version as well as expanding and enhancing material to bring it up to date. I am particularly fond of the order of presentation, which takes the reader from a "birds eye view" of BI strategy and deployment, to the development of the universe (semantic layer), to the use of analytical tools by power users and business analysts/executives. New material is included on BO Explorer and Dashboards, and it is targeted at the non-technical user who will get the most from these applications. The bulk of the book is devoted to the Information Design Tool, which is BO 4.0's expanded version of Universe Designer, incorporating elements of Data Federator to allow for the development of multiple data foundations and business layers utilizing more than one data source. Seasoned universe designers will find this material invaluable when upgrading to the new platform as the Designer tool has been supplanted by a much more robust and feature-rich application. The material on Web Intelligence will also prove helpful as numerous new features have been added to bring the product closer to a full-client analytical tool. It should be noted that the book does not cover BO Data Services, nor does it provide in-depth material on deployment (Windows, UNIX, etc.), server architecture or performance tuning, but this is largely due to the intended target audience. If you are a BO universe designer, or a business analyst relying on BO 4.0 to provide business intelligence, this will certainly become a well-thumbed reference in your library.
