Vice President of Research in BI and Analytics at Gartner, formerly founder of BI Scorecard, an independent analyst firm focused on helping customers select BI tools and manage their BI portfolio.
I grew up in NJ and MD and moved to Switzerland where I first began my career in BI in the early 1990s. Giving into the frustration of trying to build a BI application for income statement analysis that I didn't understand, I earned my MBA at Rice University in Houston, TX.

* Creating Universes using SAP BusinessObjects. [as a step by step guide to learn how to create a Universe from scratch].
* SAP BusinessObjects Reporting cook book. [ as a fast tips on how to do things in SAP BO rich client]
*SAP BusinessObjects Dashboard 4.0 cook book. [ I really like this book.]
The material on Web Intelligence will also prove helpful as numerous new features have been added to bring the product closer to a full-client analytical tool. It should be noted that the book does not cover BO Data Services, nor does it provide in-depth material on deployment (Windows, UNIX, etc.), server architecture or performance tuning, but this is largely due to the intended target audience. If you are a BO universe designer, or a business analyst relying on BO 4.0 to provide business intelligence, this will certainly become a well-thumbed reference in your library.
This book is really good, Its a must have in any BO library
