Business Objects Web Intelligence XI - Introduction

Course Description

Business Objects Web Intelligence provides much of the functionality of the full client within an internet browser interface. Unlike other programmes, the software is not installed on the user’s computer, but rather is accessed on-line through your browser. Commands are executed through a series of hyperlinks rather than via the more conventional drop-down menu method.
