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®, BusinessObjects Web Intelligence™, or Desktop Intelligence™ documents, OLAP Intelligence™ reports, 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 R1/R2: 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.

Both BusinessObjects XI Release 1 and 2 users may attend this course. BusinessObjects XI Release 1 users will notice some sections throughout the course that do not apply to their deployments, as a result of new BusinessObjects XI Release 2 functionality.

Course Topics:

• Understanding BusinessObjects Enterprise
• BusinessObjects Enterprise Architecture
• BusinessObjects Enterprise Security
