5 out of 5 stars So far the best in BI reporting   August 6, 2008

This is the book I've been looking for, I can easily find the information I need with detailed explanation and personal comment from the author, not only description of terms and collection of screens capture. This book shows that the author has a hands on experience in BI reporting. I recomment this book over SAP Press books with the same subject, and this one is cheaper from Amazon.com ;-)


5 out of 5 stars Mainly about the Query Designer   October 26, 2009

This book is the best book currently available about SAP BI reporting. That said, other books on this topic (mainly by Norbert Egger) aren't particularly convincing. So there isn't much competition. Besides as another reviewer mentioned, it is much cheaper.

Peter Jones explains the concepts well and in greater detail then you will find elsewhere. There are lots of useful examples, tips and tricks.

This book devotes a lot of space to the query designer - this is the central tool for all SAP BI reporting - and covers it well. It has another two chapters on the report designer, a module that SAP is going to let die, so one might consider this bit a waste of space. The information broadcaster is also covered quite well and in sufficient detail.
Peter Jones decided to add a chapter for web reporting and the enterprise portal plus half a chapter each for the visual composer and integrated planning. I suspect he did this mainly, so he could say that he had covered all the front end tools.
Unfortunately the lack of space means these topics get short shrift, as you could easily fill a complete separate book for each of them. The VC and IP bits don't tell you much more than that these modules exist and why they might be interesting.

PJ has announced a book covering web reporting and as the Web Application Designer won't be replaced before 2013 (Business Objects Pioneer in the SDK version), I am definitely going to buy it.


5 out of 5 stars Great Value   December 11, 2009

A great value compared to other SAP Press publications. Does not fall short on covering range of BI topics. I found it very helpful as my first book to BI. Although it seems to be designed more for the business user - but being a technical resource i found it useful to understand things from the business side.


5 out of 5 stars Good book to anyone new to SAP BI   January 25, 2009

We are using this book at work as a foundational book for bringing new hires up to speed on SAP BI.


4 out of 5 stars Good book to to learn SAP reporting   February 4, 2009
Russell D. Ebbing (West Bloomfield, MI United States)
The book reads well, for those who have read SAP or taken SAP classes, many of the illustrations. By far the easiest book to understand and follow on the topic, I wish I had this book before I tried to tackle the information from the SAP classes I had taken.
