A really good HR department supports me and makes it possible for me to lead troops into the fight by making sure I actually have troops, and doesn’t waste my time with people that should have been culled long before they get to the door.

Both Generalist and specialist words are self explanatory. However, for greater insights let's look into its theoretical meaning.

you have to decide, make your self a deep expert or learn to do a lot of different things. Becoming a specialist can boost your pay, but your specialist knowledge can be made obsolete overnight by the release of newer, better, or even just trendier software.

I would also suggest taking some (free) online courses in Business Analysis, Microsoft Excel, or whatever HRIS your company uses. I found that advancing my knowledge in Excel and computer programming made me a major asset to my team (aside from our HRIS Analyst, nobody else really has advanced computer skills in our department).

SAP BODS (SAP Business Objects Data Services) can be considered relatively safe, as it is a widely used ETL (extract, transform, load) tool in the industry.

SAP HANA is a powerful database system designed for high-speed data storage and real-time analytics. Business Intelligence (BI) is a wide range of tools and practices that are used to analyze data and produce reports to aid in decision-making.

BOBJ, on the other hand, refers to the broader suite of Business Objects products, which includes tools for business intelligence, reporting, analytics, and data visualization.

SAP BI primarily focuses on data warehousing, data analysis, and reporting. It includes tools for extracting, transforming, and loading data, as well as creating reports and dashboards.

Business intelligence (BI) is an application used for giving meaning to raw data that an organization has. The raw data is cleansed, stored and applied with business logics to be useful for enterprise users to make better business decisions.
