SAP BusinessObjects BI
Data & Analytics
SAP BusinessObjects Consultant, Web Intelligence Developer, Crystal Reports Developer
SAP BusinessObjects BI is a reporting portfolio used for formatted and ad-hoc enterprise reporting. Organisations may retain operational reports while assessing a future analytics architecture.
BusinessObjects emphasises reporting distribution; SAC adds cloud dashboards and planning but is not a direct one-for-one report replacement.

From there, the team can define scope, data and integration requirements, testing responsibilities and a realistic transition or support plan.
