SAP Business Warehouse |
| |
| Abstract |
In today's dynamic business scenario, organizations require tools that facilitate rapid conversion of
information into analysis, and analysis into action; thereby allowing them to gain competitive
advantage in the market place.
Companies generate a tremendous amount of data through day-to-day operations. Additionally, data is available from external sources such as market research agencies, independent surveys and quality testing labs. Studies indicate that the amount of data in a given organization doubles every five years. Until recently, organizations followed the traditional practice of storing data by department
or by location - usually on different systems.
Data warehousing has emerged as a key resource for organizations that have implemented ERP
and are now revamping their legacy DW applications by replacing them with standard DW
application suites. These standard applications offer robust technology, seamless integration with
backend ERPs and Industry specific reporting. Furthermore, they offer a complete development
environment to extend these products.
SAP BW is the market leader in business intelligence tools and works seamlessly with existing
systems in the organization. Information is at the core of BW SAP. BW SAP provides an information
infrastructure that allows an organization to store and manage data, thereby providing end-to-end
support to the organization - from planning to projections.
