What is SAPu2019s future offering for the data warehouse?
SAP NetWeaver BI provides a complete BI solution including a sophisticated modeling environment, industrial strengths for data provisioning and dissemination, and an enterprise-ready solution for handling business intelligence. SAP NetWeaver BI thus offers an efficient approach for dealing with BI, giving enterprises the opportunity to standadrize on one technology that runs their transactional and information environment.
But there are still a number of pain points for the customer. The main ones are:
How can the costs for BI be cut while maintaining a competitive edge?
u2022  Standardization provides an option for cost cutting but seems to require compromises in capabilities as no BI vendor covers the entire process.
How can broader user acceptance of Business Intelligence be achieved?
u2022  While BI tools have become more user friendly, complex data models and user interfaces still alienate our user base.
How can more resources be freed for innovation projects?
u2022  Facing an ever increasing amount of data, a growing user community, and constant change in business, the pure keep-alive work on our BI systems is consuming all available resources.
How can even more accuracy and accountability of derived information be ensured?
u2022  Tapping into data from enterprise applications is challenging, as different BI tools use different techniques to access the data. Reports for different business areas become incomparable at best, and inconsistent at worst.
In order to address these main customer key pain points, the following 5 steps seem to be a sound and reflected strategy approach:
Managing the value chain of intelligence
Business Intelligence has to find the best way to derive corporate models from raw data.
SAP NetWeaver BI provides a rich modeling environment aligned with powerful process management, monitoring and lifecycle management capabilities. On top of this, the Data Warehouse layer allows access to all corporate data, offers artefacts to
Enabling intelligent business
Business Intelligence has to create value for the business.
SAP NetWeaver BI's analytic mart layers offer business focused information, models that meet real world scenarios offering information from history to real-time.
Optimized coverage for real world problems
Business Intelligence has to offer a realistic model for the business in order to be able to think like the business .
SAP NetWeaver BI offers analytic models supporting time dependent hierarchies, currency and unit conversions, as well as exceptional aggregations.
Integrated Planning Services
Business Intelligence has to think ahead integrating planning in one environment.
SAP NetWeaver BI's planning services provide dependency evaluation, planning functions such as distribution, simple copying, or projections, as well as features like locking, validation and write-back.
Flexibility, Flexibility, Flexibility
Business Intelligence has to access information at the speed of thought.
SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator offers a kind of turn-key solution for BI performance, breaking down the barrier between structural flexibility and performance realized by commodity hardware based appliances.
SAP NetWeaver BI is well prepared to expand its existing strength along all these dimensions in the near future - a future that has already begun.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
