SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform Administration Training Course

SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform Administration develops the advanced technical capabilities required to administer, secure, monitor and optimise an enterprise Business Intelligence environment. The programme moves beyond basic platform management into architecture, user and security administration, content management, scheduling, publishing, system monitoring, performance optimisation and governance.
