The Web Intelligence course begins with an introduction of Business Objects and Web Intelligence. We’ll then focus in on Web Intelligence 4.x terminology ensuring you understand the tool at the most basic level. Next, we’ll learn how to navigate through the Webi tool and understand the purpose of each screen.
Then we get hands on! The Webi queries and reports you’ll be creating were designed to provide you with the confidence to create impactful reports in a self service environment. We’ll start out with the basics like connecting to your data, creating a query, adding filters, and viewing your report. Gradually, we’ll move on to more complex topics leveraging functions, variables, filters, IF statements, calculations, and custom formulas. Don’t worry, we’ll walk through everything.
Every course unit is independent so you can start from wherever you’d like. Feel free to take your time while you master this valuable set of Business Objects skills and do refer back to a given exercise if you ever get stuck.

Enjoyed the training.
Allowed you to complete at your own pace saving progress as you go.
Really good pace
I am using these systems daily and your videos help big time. It’s amazing how concisely you put everything together and at a really good pace. The BOW305 course alone is a 2 day event here at a cost of $2500 and the BOW320 is again extended to 2 days and again at $2500.. what a cheek!
Great Webi Training
Straight to the point Webi report creation. Great course!
Great Training
The course armed me with the knowledge that I needed and Rob was extremely helpful when I ran into difficulties with one installation step.
