Global BusinessObjects Network launched

This week marks the official launch of the Global BusinessObjects Network (GBN), the new identity of the Business Objects Community Alliance. The GBN is fully independent and an offshoot of the America’s SAP Users Group (ASUG). GBN will host this October’s BusinessObjects User Conference, taking place October 20–22, 2008, at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas. GBN is also becoming the umbrella organization for local user groups, which will no longer have direct oversight from SAP BusinessObjects.
