Business Author or Business Analyst

[collierd]

Hello

The key difference between these 2 roles seems to be Query Studio or Analysis Studio.
We are debating within my company which is preferable for ad-hoc reporting
Personally, I think Analysis Studio
Therefore give people a Business Analyst license

What does anybody think, in their experience

Thanks

It depends on your reporting requirements and what you will be reporting against.

Olap/DMR and your ok with analysis Studio and Report Studio
Flat reporting structure(Relational) then you won't be able to use Analysis Studio anyway.

Also it depends greatly on the expereince of the staff using it. From experience I know that users can get themselves into a complete and horrible mess with Analysis Studio and begin to report incorrect figures. (Then again I suppose this is possible with anything)
