SAP TechEd 2013 - Amsterdam Netherlands

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.). During my studies I founded MacStudent.net as an answer to the lack of Apple Mac support at the Dutch universities.

I work with all kind of SAP BI related tools, mostly with SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Lumira, Designer edition, SAP Lumira, Discovery edition, Analysis for Office and the SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform.

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.
