Student Profile:  The target audience for this course is system architects/administrators who are new to BusinessObjects Enterprise and will be responsible for maintaining BusinessObjects Enterprise users, groups, and objects in their organization.

Duration: 2 Days

Description: This two-day instructor-led course explains how to perform the tasks in the Central Management Console (CMC). These tasks involve supporting BusinessObjects Enterprise users and groups so they can access corporate data through the web portal in BusinessObjects Enterprise. This corporate data can take the form of Crystal Reports, BusinsessObjects Web Intelligence, or Desktop Intelligence documents, Voyager workspaces, program objects, object packages and popular third-party objects such as Microsoft Word and Excel files, among others. Please note: this course does not discuss maintaining BusinessObjects Enterprise servers which is taught in the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0: Administering Servers – Windows course.

The business benefit of this course is that it provides a foundation for system architects/administrators to effectively manage both users and content on the BusinessObjects Enterprise platform.
