I'm afraid, you'll not find any comparative study yet.

The general opinion that was said rather many times already: Cartesis is more user friendly and less functional than SEM-BCS (meaning that BCS may cope with more complicated consolidation cases).

Hi Eugene

Can you please tell specifically, which consolidation functions can be better managed in BCS then Cartesis.

Sorry, I couldn't.

I didn't "touch" the BO applications yet.

I just expessed the prevaluating opinion that I met several times.

This question keeps popping up - doesn't anyone use the 'search' function? - so I'll repeat what I posted, paraphrasing a discussion with a SAP sales director in Australia:

SAP SEM-BCS is supported until 2013.

but SAP now owns 3 consolidation tools, each is currently valid.

- BCS,

- BPC (from Outlooksoft) and

- Cartesis (from Business Objects) all perform consolidation,

Each has its pros and cons;

- BCS - very good consolidation engine but not so user-friendly.

- BPC - user-friendly but not so good consolidation, also has a non-SAP layout.

- Cartesis - better consolidation engine than BPC but not as good as BCS. More user-friendy than BCS but not as good as BPC, again non-SAP layout.

Although each is currently valid, there will be a combination of the best of all 3 in a new product with a SAP layout (or the same new product will be combined into a new release under the name of an existing product) at a date to be determined.
