Hello All,

I would like to know if you have use or can share some information regarding to a product called Business Object. Is this a better report writing tool than Crystal? Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.

TIA
 
There is a forum for Business Objects: forum 393.

Business Objects is a very different tool than the basic Crystal Reports tool. It has a different architecture and can be considerably more expensive. BO has an intermediate data dictionary, which they call a universe, which sits between the reports/report designer and the database.

People usually group Business Objects with Cognos Impromptu as the high-end DSS tools, with Crystal Reports and Active Reports as the more pedestrian tools for reporting.
