what are diff b/w cognos and business objects

Answer Posted / rohit

BO is a stand alone(thick client) BI tool whereas cognos
is web based tool(thin client), ODBC connections are to be
established for BO where as Cognos accesses the servers via
web. As a result of this BO occupies more space when
compared to Cognos but BO reports are faster(in getting the
results) when compared to Cognos.

Cognos- one list can be associated to only one query where
as in BO a single list can have qury items from multiple
data provider,

these are some of the difference's that i could remember
