SAP BI4.2 What’s New
Some interesting What’s New slides on SAP BusinessObjects BI4.2 appeared this week. You can check the high-level info slides here, the slides with a bit more detail here, and if you are really hardcore you can find the 150 slides ultimate edition here.
You can also go through my tweets with all the highlights and my comments:
