SAP Netweaver and BOCD Enterprise Server

I saw an awesome thread on the Future of Oracle Datawarehouse Builder and Oracle Data Integrator. I will appreciate people to comment on SAP BI technologies as well. SAP bought BO, and BO came with an ETL,DQ toolset. A toolset well respected in the market. Now what is SAP going to do with existing ETL suite they had under SAP BI/BW thing. Also please, expand this thread to comment on SAP BI reporting and analytics as well. I mean BO and SAP have competitive products in all areas of BI here. Your comments are appreciated.

SAP-BW ETL toolset related to data from SAP-OLTP/ERP sytems is going to prevail. Data sourced form non-SAP systems can utilize BO ETL toolset.

There are many integration issues between SAP-BW and BO, SAP is slowly addressing them and may address even fater as more SAP-customers join the SAP-BO Wagon.

SAP's Netweaver based portal functionality will stay for now as it is tightly linked to SAP-ERP solution like HCM-ESS-MSS. SAP-NW-Portal based BI analytics can be ported thru BO-Infoview or 'BO and crystal' analytics can be sourced thru SAP-NW-Portal.

SAP's reporting tool, Bex explorer, is "crap" so I think they will replace it by BO reporting tools.
