1 Business Intelligence Competency Partners Untangling the Confusion What SAP BW powered by HANA and HANA LIVE mean to your organization Sven Jensen Program Director

2 Audience, Objective & Agenda This presentation is intended for non-technical IT decision makers Provide BICP s perspective on SAP s direction for Analytics Simplify BI capability choices for the SAP centric enterprise Detail the three core BI implementation components Suggest a possible roadmap for BI capability investment Slide 2

3 About BICP Background BICP has supported major corporate transformations by helping to make BI functions a strategic advantage. We work with large Fortune 500 companies with strong global brands, and have excellent references from large SAP Business Intelligence customers like NIKE, Estee Lauder, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Callaway Golf, Valero, Newell Rubbermaid, Columbia Sportswear and Bridgestone. Many of these successful BI initiatives have also been featured and presented at numerous conferences and industry publications. Our Practice Directors are industry recognized leaders in BI community and frequent speakers at industry events. Slide 3

4 All types of Analytics are essential for competing successfully Winner takes it all environment Performance Prediction Innovation Data Integration Data Quality Data Architecture Master Data Management Advanced Analytics (Data Mining & Web Analytics) Analytic Applications (Risk Management, Finance) Business Optimization Visualization Dashboards & Scorecards Planning, Budgeting, & Forecasting Business Analytics & Reporting for various business domains or process areas Predictive Modeling Analytical Applications Business Process data & Unstructured data analytics Big data integration Business & IT Transformation Business Enablement BI Strategy and Roadmap Enterprise Information Management (EIM) BI Governance EIM Foundation Advanced Analytics & Optimization BI & Performance Management Predictive Analysis BI & EIM Strategy Slide 4

5 Companies leapfrog ahead of the competition by leveraging new information assets Information is like market share if you have it and your competition doesn t, then you are ahead of the game Slide 5

6 New ways for deploying, developing and consuming data and information are required SAP s BI Direction HANA Agile deployment with flexible tools and governances Faster results using technology Cheaper deployment of solutions Varity of Delivery Channels based on content For SAP centric companies, we believe, SAP BI, BOBJ, BW, and HANA is the foundation of successfully meeting the challenge Slide 6

7 SAP HANA is the technology foundation, based on our analysis, that enables SAP centric companies to use Analytics as a competitive weapon Slide 7

8 But how can we safely get started if SAP s Analytics direction appears to be still evolving? Inconsistent statements seem to creating unnecessary confusion in the market. SAP BW is going away develop everything in native HANA BW on HANA is not the analytics direction SAP Business Suite on HANA is the be all end all HANA Development environment is not ready Slide 8

9 We believe that we can synthesize SAP s Analytics and SAP HANA messages into a few key components 1. SAP HANA is a platform for Applications, Services and cross enterprise system Data Integration 2. BW powered by HANA is the EDW service that provides the integrated design capabilities for BI and Advanced Analytics 3. SAP HANA Live provides data mart reporting services for non integrated business data 4. Business Suite on HANA is a service that enables integrated realtime operational reporting 5. SAP is decomposing its core application areas into services and LoB applications that are built on the SAP HANA platform Slide 9

10 SAP HANA the Platform provides Integration, Data, Business, Application & Delivery capabilities SAP BW 7.4 SAP Business Suite SQL MDX R JSON Open Connectivity Any Apps Any App Server Supports any Device SQL, SQLScript, JavaScript Spatial Business Function Library Search Predictive Analysis Library Text Mining Database Services Integration Services Stored Procedures & Data Models Planning Engine Application & UI Services Rules Engine Transaction Unstructured Machine HADOOP Real-Time Locations Other Apps BOBJ Slide 10

11 How does SAP HANA the Platform and SAP BI fit into an agile Analytics environment or Food Court? Slide 11

12 SAP provides 8 scenarios for using SAP HANA the Platform and HANA for BI Great technical information describing the art of the possible for any potential BI scenarios a company can have. However, a BI roadmap for the SAP centric enterprise can be anchored in fewer & simpler decision points Slide 12

13 A three pronged approach can be used to provide effective Analytics while SAP s BI roadmap is evolving BICP proposes to use a look at three dimensions that allow you increase your Analytics capabilities : 1. Look at a SAP HANA software licensing model that provides the platform Analytics, BI, EDW, ERP, Big Data and data integration 2. Leverage BW powered by HANA for integrated Analytics and EDW modeling across BW and SAP HANA/Live data models 3. Take advantage of SAP HANA/Live as a data mart solution that replicates/stores data across diverse enterprise systems Slide 13

14 Our approach allows you to leverage your current investment in business capabilities, skills technology Invest into SAP Hana capabilities by using BW powered by HANA Expand Analytical capabilities by leveraging new technology options for provisioning diverse data Take advantage of evolving SAP Hana application including Business Suite on Hana and LoB applications SAP HANA Enterprise License Optimized HW Platform Slide 14

15 1. SAP HANA Licensing model considerations The SAP HANA Enterprise Edition license* model provides the option of flexibly adopting SAP s application roadmap as it evolves Allows you to take advantage of advanced Analytics capabilities today by leveraging your investment in BW, BI skills, & processes Enables flexible adoption of new SAP applications and capabilities while taking advantage HANA enabled benefits w/ limited risk BW Business Suite on HANA CRM Big Data SAP & Non- SAP Applications SAP HANA Platform *Consider whether a Private BI Cloud can reduce your up-front HW costs Slide 15

16 2. Leverage BW powered by HANA for Analytics Model Analytical applications and BI solutions using the BW modeling tool capabilities The separate GUI s are beginning to converge to eventually allow seamless Information modeling across all enterprise data Leverage your SAP BW investment and its build-in business knowledge Take advantage of SAP strategy of driving BI convergence through the BW powered by HANA modeling layer and BOBJ reporting tools Slide 16

17 3. Take advantage of SAP HANA/Live as a data mart Enable operational reporting using real-time simple table/data replication mechanism for SAP and non-sap systems Take advantage of applicable Rapid Mart solutions Leverage Smart Data Access to access data at its source such as Hadoop and other databases Integrate cloud services for subscribing to and storing social media data Allows for building analytics exploration areas for a Hot, Warm, and Cold storage strategy Become a data bank by using a SAP HANA platform, IQ, Hadoop architecture approach for structured, unstructured, high velocity and variety data Slide 17

18 So, how to get started? BICP s proposes a proven stepby-step risk mitigating Analytics game changing plan Performance Use BOBJ Delivery Channels for reporting & analysis Upgrade to BW (7.4SP5+) powered by HANA Model Data Integration w/ BW modeling capabilities Start replacing one-off databases by building data marts on HANA Prediction Use Smart Data Access to integrate non-sap data sources (such as Hadoop) Develop broad data storage & integration approach (Hot, Warm & Cold) Build advanced analytics that integrate traditional business data with high-value non SAP data Innovation Seamlessly & dynamically consume data regardless of sources through Smart Data Access Upgrade to Business Suite on Hana Leverage SAP and non-sap Applications on the SAP HANA platform Based on BICP analysis BW powered by HANA is the recommended, safe investment in SAP BI technology for the SAP centric enterprise that provides immediate HANA enabled benefits. The proposed roadmap helps to ensure alignment with SAP s future direction as SAP seems to drive technology convergence through the BW modeling and EDW layers Slide 18
