Is BI Publisher really for End Users?

The more I use BI Publisher (XML Publisher), the more I find that you need to be a techie to use it effectively.

Moreover not only does it rely on your knowledge of underlying data structures, but uses extremely quirky syntax to tie an overall solution together.

So ... I can see a strong need for customers to access BI Publisher expertise to come up with base data sources and templates, especially in the Oracle eBusiness Suite realm.

See a post soon with an example Oracle eBusiness Suite AR Invoice format example.
