Microsoft vs Business Objects vs Microstrategy
Hi!
I need to get a ratio comparison of metadata and related object
development effort for BO and Msft AS + ProClarity. In fact, I already
know the average development effort of metadata and other objects in
Microstatregy (I am mostly concerned with atributes, facts, metrics and
reports).
Can anyone give me a hint or a benchmark comparison of development
effort for the equivalent Microstrategy objects I referred, for Busines
Objects (XI R2) and Microsoft analysis Services + Proclarity?
I'd like, if possible, to have an idea like this:
Average development effort for creation of a Microstrategy attribute: x
minutes
Average development effort for creation of a BO "attribute": x/2
minutes (for example)
Average development effort for creation of a Msft AS + Proclarity
"attribute": x/10 minutes
Average development effort for creation of a Microstrategy fact: y
minutes
Average development effort for creation of a BO "fact": y*2 minutes
(for example)
Average development effort for creation of a Msft AS + Proclarity
"fact": y/10 minutes
Average development effort for creation of a Microstrategy report: z
minutes
Average development effort for creation of a BO "report": z/2 minutes
(for example)
Average development effort for creation of a Msft AS + Proclarity
"report": z/10 minutes
NOTE:
Average Microstrategy report: 3 attributes Vs 3 metrics
Average Microstrategy metric: count distinct or sum, filtered
Thank you.

Re: Microsoft vs Business Objects vs Microstrategy
Hello FPG,
i am working on the comparison of BO and MS Reporting Services for our company and looking for helpful information to make a decision on what licensing to obtain.
Have you received any answers by any chance that i could use?
really appreciate any information.

Re: Microsoft vs Business Objects vs Microstrategy
The reader.nextInt() call that obtains the 'gender' value collects only digit characters. It does not does not collect the end-of-line marker that follows the digits.
That end-of-line marker stays in the 'reader' object until the program calls reader.next Line() when attempting to collect the 'answer' value. That next-line() call encounters the leftover end-of-line and returns immediately, setting 'answer' to an empty String (""). Therefore 'answer' does not match the "yes" you compare it against, therefore the program goes into the 'else' clause and prints the "But seriously..." line.
