MS BI vs Business Objects
In a recent opportunity I was competing agaist Business Objects. This brief white paper summarised basically how I wanted to position against BO at the business user stand point. It was also good that it came from a 3rd party so I could claim that it was someone else's opinion besides my own. Thank Symmetry Corp.
Currently working on positioning against features at a more ganular level. More on this later.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the link to the whitepaper. In case you're interested, I gave a shot at a comparison of SSAS cubes and BO universes.

Very poor comparison of MS BI and Business Objects....clearly bias !
You just need to take a Gartner study to see that Business Objects is positioned as a Leader, and Microsoft BI is clearly not positioned as a Leader !
Even though Microsoft BI is an excellent cheap option for BI in some companies, it cannot yet be compared to Business Objects BI platform which has years of maturity both as Crystal Reporting tool and Business Objects Ad-Hoc reporting tool.
It's like people comparing SQL Server and Oracle and saying the former is better. In which cases? Oracle remains the database of choice for large SAP implementations whereas SQL Server is an excellent database engine for non SAP Implementations. It's just a matter of scale and disaster recovery requirements. It's a matter of what companies need, what they can afford, etc...
And i am talking today in 2008, but this was also valid in 2006 (also lots of integration has been done on the Business Objects XI Enterprise Platform).
And i am talking as somebody who knows both Microsoft BI and Business Objects. Whereas this white paper was written by a Microsoft BI Gold Partner.....
