We use Business Objects with a Relational Database Backend (For Example : Oracle , Teradata , DB2 , SQL Server …..) , this is an important distinction because designing a universe with traditional databases is very different than using BW/BEx which uses Bex queries for pulling the dataset. Hence please make sure the candidates are strong in Business Objects Universe Design using databases like Oracle , SQL Server , DB2 , Teradata ….. along with Dashboard Experience. We would prefer to *stay away* from candidates with SAP BW /BEx experience. We are open to training candidates in SAP HANA Technology as long as they are stronger with Business Objects Dashboard Development Experience. Please note that Hands-on Dashboard Design Experience with Xcelsius or Business objects Dashboard Tool is important for this role. We would prefer candidates who would relocate to Harrisburg as this is a long term project. Harrisburg has a low cost of living compared most major cities.
