Why is it that in experts exchange everything related to BO comes under the umbrella of Business Objects/crystal reports.

Does experts exchange handle questions on all topics of Business Objects.

I agree with the certification being relatively useless.  I have never had a job that required it.  I know several certified report developers who are next to worthless particularly when it comes to report look and feel.

The only reason I am considering it is because the company I work for is a SAP Gold Partner and part of the Gold certification relates to number of BO certified consultants.
