Moving forward, many of the presentation layer tools in the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio will have a new name. I would like to point it out that some of the names were not like that initially. SAP has consulted the user community leaders to come up with these final names. In my humble opinion, this is a good indication that SAP is not too big to listen.

First of all, the word "XI" will be removed from the release number. For example, the upcoming version 4 will be officially named SAP BusinessObjects 4.0.

These are the old names and the corresponding new names:
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Premium --> SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform 
Crystal Reports --> SAP Crystal Reports 
SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius Enterprise --> SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards 
SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence --> SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence 
SAP BusinessObjects Voyager (aka Advanced Analysis Web; Pioneer) --> SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for OLAP 
SAP BusinessObjects Advanced Analysis (aka Advanced Analysis Office; Pioneer) --> SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office 
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer --> SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
