Title: You get what you pay for...
Review: In the interest of full disclosure, which I think should be required for these reviews; I have implemented Business Objects among other BI applications on both a small and huge enterprise scale. You'll find the reviews for this book, including mine, very polarized. I believe it has a lot to do with your BI product bias. This book was written by a Business Objects executive. It doesn't take a scientist to figure out where the author is coming from. Fortunately I can say I didn't pay for the book, it was given to me by a Business Objects sales rep. Otherwise I would have been even more disappointed.The book does offer sound generalization of concepts so it's not a total loss if you're just getting into the technology. On the other hand, if you're looking for real strategy and implementation best practices, there are better resources available.
