23 SAP Crystal Reports well-formatted, layoutfocused reports 2 versions! Crystal Reports 2013 Connect to anything (DB, file, Table, SAP ECC, SAP BW ) Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0 New BI 4 interface, connects with Universes and BW only

24 SAP Mobility Access your Data from everywhere

25 Mobile BI from SAP Before BOBJ 4.1

26 Mobile BI from SAP Now with BOBJ 4.1 One Single Mobile Application SAP BusinessObjects Mobile 5.0

27 BI 4.0 is now fully integrated with SAP BW Seamless

28 ETL Data Warehouse Reporting Tools SAP Business Warehouse Report Designer Web Application Web Application Designer Bex Analyzer Business Explorer (aka Bex) MultiCubes Infocubes Operational Data Storage Business Warehouse (aka BW) Data Sources SAP ERP SAP CRM Application Database Customer Database Text XML Web Service

29 BW Business Content: plug and play on SAP ERP 1 to 3 hours for Business Content activation, SAP ERP SAP CRM instead of weeks of data modeling

30 Remember No one size fits all tool. You need to describe the users needs to find the best suited tool(s) for each business case. The report-to-report interfaces allow optimized usage of each tool SAP BW is SAP Datawarehouse for SAP data, SAP BI is the best reporting suite for SAP BW

31 How can you start? (1/2) No BI tool? => start with a BI roadmap. Understand where you are Understand what you can do and how to go from here to there No internal good data governance maturity? => Do a quick-win BI project Create a POC with a self-service tool (explorer, lumira..) with data based on files If positive feedback, expand with a BI platform and a Datawarehouse

32 How can you start? (2/2) Already have SAP BW? => install a BI platform and test the different tools. Use SAP BI Analysis to improve the user experience of Bex Analyzer Try the direct connection of WebI, Dashboards to create new types of reports create easy-to use and visually appealing reports on phones and tablets with Explorer and WebI

33 Business Intelligence SAP BI 4.0 and SAP BW Operational BI with SAP ERP SAP HANA and BI

34 Embedded Analytics: best of both worlds

35 Solution 1: Crystal Reports directly on SAP ERP Standard or customized formatted reporting directly in the SAP ERP interface

36 Solution 2: Transient providers SAP BI Reporting tools Standard BW report Transient provider data feed Bex Query SAP ERP Infoset SAP ERP Transient Provider (BW)

37 Solution 2: report with Transient providers SAP ERP SAP BI

38 Solution 3: Relational Universes on SAP ERP

39 Business Intelligence SAP BI 4.0 and SAP BW Operational BI with SAP ERP SAP HANA and BI

40 How can SAP BW go faster with Big Data?

41 SAP HANA is a Database loaded with innovations HW Technology Innovations SAP SW Technology Innovations Multi-Core Architecture (8 x 8core CPU per blade) Massive parallel scaling with many blades One blade ~$ = 1 Enterprise Class Server 64bit address space 2TB in current servers 100GB/s data throughput Dramatic decline in price/performance Row and Column Store Compression Partitioning No Aggregate Tables

42 The art of waiting is over

43 In-Memory Datawarehouse SAP NetWeaver BW SAP NetWeaver BW Data Modeling Data Modeling DBMS Analytical / Planning Engine Data Management Relational Database HANA Analytical / Planning Engine Data Management Data Storage Data Storage Calculation moved to SAP HANA Optimized SAP BW data structures for SAP HANA

44 Faster loading Activations and transformations are done in memory Acceleration factor for ODS : 5 to 8x Acceleration factor for infocubes: 2x Redundant data layers are suppressed

45 Operational reporting pain points I need this report now! But the system can t cope!

46 HANA LIVE (a.k.a SHAF ) SAP Business Suite (ERP or SCM or CRM )

47 Remember Embedded analytic provides better-looking operational reports on SAP ERP, but beware of the data volume! SAP HANA is a fantastic data processing accelerator that can be leveraged in different scenarios: you need to understand your pain points in order to find the right solution Operational reporting is not BI : different needs and different data (even if you use the same tools to build the reports!)

48 Our newsflash from SAP Teched 2013 SAP BW on hybrid HANA / Sybase IQ (reduce the cost of HANA hardware and licence) SAP Predictive with three flavors: KXEN for easy, cloud-based predictive SAP Predictive Analysis on SAP HANA SAS on SAP HANA Easier to combine BW and non-bw data on the same HANA DB Real-Time Data Platform is the new buzzword (combines HANA, BW and data synchronization processes) SAP HANA is a complete platform
