Future of BI, Announcement and Round-up of BI Platform Content at ASUG Annual Conference – ICYMI
One of the announcements at ASUG Annual Conference was the release Technical Whitepaper: Virtualizing SAP BusinessObjects BI 4 on VMware 5 by Ashish Morzaria of SAP. You can also go to sap.com/bivirtualization for the short cut link.
Additionally, right before ASUG Annual Conference we had a customer connection session with SAP’s Nadine Engler, moderated by ASUG Volunteer Kevin Geiger, who is a BI Platform ASUG volunteer. I wrote about this here but in case you want to watch the webcast recording it is available here:

The customer connect is a way to influence SAP in the short-term. It is a great opportunity and I encourage you to check it out.
As for BI-platform related sessions at ASUG Annual Conference, I summarized a few of these here at this link prior to conference. Now, I am including links to the presentations if you want to review (BI Platform only).
Sadly I didn’t see many of these in person but I heard good feedback from many that the sessions were good and the Future of BI session was “standing room only”. Speaker Ty Miller slides are quite detailed and I encourage you to check them out.
The ASUG BI Platform Influence Council also influenced the new System Wizard BI 4.1. Check it out here. Greg Wcislo’s slides on SSO are very detailed too.
ICYMI – in case you missed it, like I did. Special thanks to ASUG volunteers Kevin Geiger and Derek Loranca for working this track and our speakers for providing this content to ASUG.
