Hi, welcome on HackingSAP.com<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

My name is Xavier Hacking<\/strong> and I am an\u00a0SAP Analytics consultant<\/strong>. I have\u00a0a background in Industrial Engineering and Management Science (MSc.<\/a>). In 2022 I was recognized as an SAP Champion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I work with all kind of SAP BI related tools, mostly with SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Datasphere, but also Analysis for Office, SAP BW, SAP HANA 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).<\/p>\n

\"sap_corp_280_R_r_p\"\"SAPBO\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I published six books on several SAP BI tools. The most recent ones are\u00a0about\u00a0SAP Lumira, Discovery edition<\/a>,\u00a0SAP Lumira, Designer edition<\/a> and\u00a0SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards<\/a>.\u00a0Once in a while I also write an article for the BI Expert<\/a> online magazine and the Interdobs blog<\/a>. I started HackingSAP.com in 2009 by the way.<\/p>\n

In summer 2013 we started De Nederlandse BI Podcast<\/a>, which is the Dutch BI Podcast, in which we discuss the latest (SAP) business intelligence related topics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other topics that I’m interested in and\/or enjoy doing are poker, chess, gaming, Apple, Pro-Wrestling, libertarianism, investing, running, swimming, rowing, golf, supporting my football teams (Roda JC, Alemannia Aachen), playing piano and guitar, reading a lot of books and comic books, going to the movies, visiting concerts and festivals (rock\/metal\/folk), traveling (USA! USA!), BBQ, eating hamburgers and donuts and drinking Coca-Cola. Oh and I run my own comic book store at ProfessorX.nl<\/a>!<\/p>\n

So enjoy reading my blog!<\/p>\n
