About

Hi, welcome on HackingSAP.com!

My name is Xavier Hacking and I am an SAP BI consultant working at Interdobs and I have a background in Industrial Engineering and Management Science (MSc.).

I work with all kind of SAP BI related tools, mostly with SAP Analytics Cloud, but also Analysis for Office, SAP BW, SAP HANA, SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and in the past SAP Lumira (Designer and Discovery edition) the SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform, Web Intelligence, Crystal Reports and of course Roambi and Xcelsius (#neverforget).

I published six books on several SAP BI tools. The most recent ones are about SAP Lumira, Discovery edition, SAP Lumira, Designer edition and SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards. Once in a while I also write an article for the BI Expert online magazine and the Interdobs blog. I started HackingSAP.com in 2009 by the way.

In summer 2013 we started De Nederlandse BI Podcast, which is the Dutch BI Podcast, in which we discuss the latest (SAP) business intelligence related topics.
