Topic: Crystal Server 2008 vs BO Enterprise Posted: 03 Aug 2010 at 12:41am
Hi,
We are due to deploy CR Server 2008 shortly and I have had a hard time fonding training in Oz, however I have been trained in Business Objects Enterprise XI.
Can anyone confirm how the two compare? If I am proficient in BO Enterprise, will the transition be similar.
This may be a daft question, but I have not been able to get a definitive answer and I do not want to stuff this up

I have seen BO, and received a little bit of training in it. From what I have seen BO is very powerful, but the user interface is a bit hard to use. CR 2008 has a good user interface but not as powerful.
Probably the biggest stumbing block will be to learn the differences on how to create groups (and their limitations), parameters and formulas. Of course I come here almost every day to learn more about CR and I have been creating CR reports for years.
I am a massive fan of CR (I know, I am a geek, and proud of it!!!!) and want to know as much as I can so that I can be of maximum benefit to my employer (plus I do get a thrill!!)

I would suggest picking up a good bood of CR. The host of this web site has some books, I have not seen any of them, but a number of the posts say good things about them.
I have used books written by George Peck. A pretty good reference, maybe not the best to try to learn from.
