The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for analyzing historic changes to business objects. One method includes monitoring at least one business object for a modification made to at least one business object node attribute. In response to a monitored modification associated with a particular business object node attribute, a new historical version of the at least one business object node attribute is prepared, the new historical version of the at least one business object node attribute including the modified business object node attribute value. A previous historical version of the at least one business object node attribute is retrieved and updated in response to the monitored modification. The new historical version of the at least one business object node attribute and the updated previous historical version of the at least one business object node attribute are then stored.
