The core of SAP BO is the SAP Business Objects Universe, which are layers of metadata that integrate the back-end data with the front-end application layer.
A universe allows users to interact with data without having to know what database it comes from, the database structure or where the data is stored. The universe does not store any data itself, but is a metadata layer that contains information about the objects in the data source, which is used to generate SQL queries that retrieve the actual data.
Origins of SAP Business Objects
The original company known as Business Objects was founded in 1990 in Paris. It became a large and respected BI software seller.
In 2020, SAP acquired Business Objects for $6.78 billion, the largest acquisition SAP had ever made at the time. Initially, the former company operated independently, but Business Objects became a division of SAP in 2020 and the products came under the SAP Business Objects brand.
The purchase of Business Objects increased SAP's foothold in the BI market, which, in hindsight, was an important move in SAP's growth in the decade that followed.
