Re. capitalization, see this press release from the company's own website:

"Developers will applaud the dynamic pick list capability that will reduce report maintenance efforts," said Cindi Howson, independent consultant for Analytic Solutions Know-How. "Crystal has long had some of the best native data connectivity of any reporting tool. The addition of XML and the Business Objects universe as data sources extends those capabilities."

agree  Ken Cox: indeedydoo -- as so often in IT, Denglisch rules. You could also dispense with the capitalisation.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, Ken, but "Business Objects" is a company, so the capitalization has to stay

agree  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): sorry, "ins Englische" ist gefragt, ich habe absolut geschlafen. Das hätte ich dann auch geschrieben, ist ja klar, dass Universum kein Englisch ist ;-) Als Link passt meiner aber besser :-) // OK, BO schreibt "universe" klein, die können nicht irren ;-)
3 hrs
  -> Danke, Aniello, aber in deinem (-er?) letzten Link ist die Groß-/Kleinschreibung von 'universe' "all over the board". Es ist kein Eigenname, auch nicht bei BO, und ist deshalb klein zu schreiben
