Business Objects VS Cognos

[#1]

Hello,

My company has finally come to the inevitable crossroads of a Business Objects VS Cognos decision.

It is almost certain that SAP BW 7 will remain as the backend datawarehouse for our expanding ECC system, so this is strictly a decision about the professional grade front end tools and their associated capabilities, cost/benefit, maintanence/effort, long term viability, pros/cons etc.

I know that many companies have been down this road already and I am curious what information people are willing to share regarding this analysis, decision, results, resources for more information, and things to consider. I look forward to the discussion.

Our company is growing and will be standardizing on SAP as aquisitions continue. Some of our acquired/yet to be integrated companies have newly implemented Cognos.

I don't expect completely impartial answers considering this forum is SAP/Business Objects, but I am sure i can obtain great information none the less!

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Can we import SAP BusinessObjects Reports into Cognos? We already have many reports in BO and now we want same reports in Cognos. So instead to building reports from scratch in Cognos is their any possibility to use the already existing BO reports in Cognos?

Thanks and best regards.
