Intelligent controlling based on defined KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) is essential for successful corporate management. With integrated key performance indicator systems, you can precisely evaluate the KPIs and receive exactly the data you need to monitor profitability and business development. Thanks to real-time reporting, you are always in a position to intervene and take the necessary measures.
A distinction is made between operative reporting, which is mapped in the operative system (SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA) and regular reporting, which is used with the help of a data warehouse.
In today's world it is crucial to develop attractive business models for the future and to gain a competitive advantage over the competition. Predictive Analytics supports you in this. Based on data from the past, forecasts for the future are created in order to use these insights and to initiate decisions at an early stage.
One of the most important controlling instruments is business/corporate planning. It harmonizes budgeting, forecasting and financial planning. Planning defines a specific target figure to be achieved in a certain planning period. Planning is also essential in other areas of the company such as sales, human resources or on the basis of cost centers.
In the past years, the desire on the part of specialist departments to create reports independently has grown.
Historically, companies have had to break away from the fact that reporting products are always developed and made available within the IT department. The resulting demands of the business departments on the subject of BI often lead to the fact that the personnel requirements within the IT department can hardly be estimated.
Self-service unifies the two worlds of business and IT. The right choice of special technology and the adaptation of the development processes or the creation of a "working model" result in numerous advantages for companies.
SAP Datasphere enables organizations to realize the full potential of their data. Therefore, companies should start the journey from the previous on-premise BW system to SAP Datasphere. Our white paper, written in cooperation with SAP, provides concrete recommendations for action. It also describes how SAP Datasphere supports the transition from traditional data warehousing to a decentralized data mesh or business data fabric architecture.
SAP Datasphere is a comprehensive data service in the public cloud and is strongly aimed at business departments – especially those that value the topic of “self-service BI” and want to independently take care of data management in their environment. SAP Datasphere acts as an interface between IT and business. The solution allows the connection of a wide variety of data sources and access to the data in real time. Decision-makers can react quickly to changes thanks to reliable data. In addition, SAP Datasphere has tight integration with SAP Analytics Cloud to cover front-end topics.
As a 3-in-1 solution, SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) combines the functions of business intelligence, planning and predictive analytics in one tool and enables real-time data analyses from the cloud.
This means you no longer have to switch back and forth between different tools, but have a uniform data basis across the company and can make well-founded decisions company-wide. SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is suitable both as an ad-hoc reporting tool for specific departments and for company-wide business intelligence solutions. Users can filter, edit and model data and build meaningful graphics, tables and storyboards.
The SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW) lays the technological foundation for comprehensive enterprise data warehousing as well as a business intelligence and planning environment. With SAP BW, you can bring together historical and current data from various systems, model, consolidate and prepare it to make it available to your employees for analysis, reporting and planning.
The latest generation SAP BW/4HANA analyzes huge amounts of data even in real time. With SAP Business Warehouse, you can create a central source of information for your entire company, providing all parties involved with a uniform, data-based view of your business situation.
SAP BW on anyDB, SAP BW powered by SAP HANA, SAP BW/4HANA - the SAP Business Warehouse portfolio is extremely diverse. The orientation for the future is much clearer: SAP focuses exclusively on SAP BW/4HANA for innovations and further developments. One of the main reasons for the consistent orientation towards BW/4HANA is the significantly higher performance achieved by the HANA in-memory technology compared to conventional databases. Leaner data models, shorter loading times and modern user interfaces ensure up to 70% faster processes.
What does this mean for the older BW releases? If you have SAP BW 7.5 in use, you're in luck! This version will be supported until 2027. If your BW release is older (for example, 7.3 or 7.4), you need to take action. This is because mainstream maintenance expired on December 31, 2020.
In the past, an embedded business warehouse was also called "mini BW". This can be activated, for example, in classic SAP systems such as SAP S/4HANA and used for operational reporting. It is often used in the area of controlling or production. An embedded SAP BW offers some advantages in the above mentioned areas. One of the most important advantages is probably the topic of real-time reporting in order to be able to react very quickly to requirements/disruptions in production, for example. Furthermore, with newer technologies such as SAP S/4HANA and a clean architecture, no additional storage space is required for reporting.
