3. Why BO Administration is overlooked
Majority of the Organizations Do not have dedicated BO admins
Deemed not required as FTE
Administration tasks are normally handled by Developers or Senior team members
Companies do not want to perform Application maintenance and keep up to date with the latest version (time and cost)
BO is not utilized as a Enterprise Reporting Solution
Lack of In-depth technical Knowledge
