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
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

How can SAP BW go faster with Big Data?
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 ~$50.000 = 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
The art of waiting is over
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
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
Operational reporting pain points I need this report now! But the system can t cope!
HANA LIVE (a.k.a SHAF ) SAP Business Suite (ERP or SCM or CRM )
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!)
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
