I think it is apparent that Business Objects defeats its opponents. Business Objects generally pays 5% more and has had nearly twice as much demand than SAS and Cognos, although job demand for it is falling faster. Business Objects moves on to another opponent. Next week with compare the Cisco Certifications: CCNA vs CCNE vs CCNP. Stay tuned.
