Why SAP BW?

SAP ERP includes multiple modules. These modules integrate with each other to provide the best solution for businesses. SAP BW (Business Warehouse) is one of the important modules of SAP.

To understand what is SAP BW, you should first understand the Data Warehousing functionality. You should then understand various options for SAP Data Warehousing. Then, you should be able to compare SAP BW with other best of breed tools. Finally, you should also learn about SAP BW’s Data Mining functionality and various advantages offered by SAP BW.

Benefits of SAP BW

• SAP BW offers various benefits which makes it one of the best tools. Some of those are listed below:
• SAP BW offers ‘Business Content’. It provides ready-made objects such as InfoCubes, reports, MultiProviders, etc.
• The flexibility that SAP BW offers is tremendous. It’s very easy to customize the standard content.
  It offers great query performance with very less administration effort.
• It offers the ability to analyze multidimensional data sources.
• It easily integrates with other platforms.

This way you can gain insights from the data and improve business processes.
When it comes to making use of the many advantages of SAP, we focus a lot here at SAP BW Consulting, Inc. on SAP Business Warehouse and more broadly, analytics. Sometimes, a casual conversation reveals that we need to address some issue of how to implement or otherwise work through a SAP BW project. One that came up recently regarding the benefits of sap implementation, and surprisingly from a SAP Consulting manager, was the question, “so what’s the benefit of SAP BW, afterall, it is just a reporting tool, and the system has many 

Career Benefits of SAP BW

• Most benefits come from solving a problem or uncovering a previously undiscovered opportunity, especially in the area of Strategy.
• One of the major benefits of using SAP BW we almost ALWAYS come across is the opportunity to discover and fix Unit of Measurement issues.
• Sometimes, these errors are minor, but more often than not, they are so deeply embedded in the company’s operations, they may require a restatement of the company’s financials.
• Discovering the root cause of product outages, especially, but not only, with Retail Operators who have a high degree of interest in making sure their product is available on the shelf when the customer, who they have spent so much time and effort in getting into their establishment in the first place, passes by the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) location.
  Identifying problems with MRP settings in the underlying ERP system.
• One of our more advanced dashboard projects involved ERP-BW-BOE-LiveOffice-xCelsius.
• The ability to provide high level interpretation of the data is an advanced skill that few in the BW world actually get much practice at.
• Identifying bad data and correcting it.
• SAP BW is without peer in identifying bad data.
• The BOBJ data tools make it somewhat easier to fix the data, but we find the ability to recognize bad data, and determine where the bad data is being generated in the underlying business process, is a key skill, which, when deployed, results in rapid benefit to the business.
• A key benefit of a SAP BW datawarehouse is that it is considered a prerequisite to establishing and executing a Balanced Scorecard based Strategy, at least among SAP customers, especially those using SAP SSM.
• In one recent project, one of our customers discovered that their most profitable contract type was not the one they had assumed.
• Being able to think through the process of what comes after you have the data from a SAP BW report is also a critical benefit of SAP BW.
• For instance, the commercial manager of one of our Airline Customers was faced with a never ending flow of vast volumes of information about how the airline was performing and needed to know what to do next, based on what the route profitability was telling him and his team.
• SAP BW allows such situations to be modeled and responded to much more effectively.
• SAP BW allows you to segment your prospects and customers on a vast scale, with almost infinite granularity, so that you can more effectively leverage your CRM system.
• When properly designed, this granularity can be fed from many parts of the SAP system and 3rd party systems, such that you can integrate social media feeds, order history, search history, and predictive analytics, to create focused, relevant offerings.
• The current ‘hot trend’ of providing real-time embedded dashboards is potentially a game-changer for many business executives.
• The danger is losing credibility in the data, and SAP BW is a primary source of ‘high quality accurate data.
• There are many dashboard scenarios where SAP BW is not in the loop, but for the majority of SAP Customers, we see the SAP BW system as the source of record and thus, of critical value to the acceptance and profitable use of dashboards.
