Hi Tanja,
Life after BCS? There is no life after BCS)))
It's funny, in the two, probably biggest companies in my country, I see two contrary directions:
1) from the existing implementations of consolidation applications BFC is chosen to be killed and BCS - to be developed. Attempt of developing something with BPC is almost declared as absolutely fruitless.
2). With the existing BCS monster implementation there is a thought of going to BFC.
Consolidation with BPC is not serious for me any longer.
So, there is a choise only between BCS and BFC. With their own advantages and disadvantages.
For me BCS still #1.
BTW, to my knowledge, neither BPC, nor BFC has no something like versions in BCS.
