Accentures POV: SAP has 9,500 productive installation of SAP BI it is not going away. If themajority of the data comes from SAP and/or the client is an SAP Shop, Use SAP BI as theData Warehouse for report ing and analyt ics. Rapid Marts can be used for early developmentto test out data or logic but are not a long term data warehouse solution.

BOBJs XI Web Intelligence (Webi)

is the tool SAP plans to use for future Web based analytics requires the development of a Universe (star schema) for reporting access to an SAP BI Infocube is possible using a Universe against the SAP NW BI OLAP BAPI but currently

inefficient and leading practices suggests that Super-queries developed using BEx be used to extract data fromthe Infocube to be viewed by the Universe so that BEx Web reports can be created

improvements are being made to better integrate Webi with SAP BI is a premium product and will have extra licensing fees.

Acc enture POV: Use BEX with pu bl ished iViews to the Porta l or BEX Web

(BICS) and will be able to launch from a VC composite.

when Pioneer becomes available, Pioneer Query views can be a datasource for Xcelsius via BICS and there will beintegration between Xcelsius and Pioneer Excel worksheets.

Accenture POV: Both Visual Compos er and Xcels ius provide unique dashboarding capabi l i t iesand Accenture recommends both too ls for various dashboarding needs. Visual Composer has astrong underly ing engine but m ay be more d i f f icul t to develop, but can be developed using SAP BIQueries. Xcels ius provides a very pret ty front end b ut has l i t t le processing p ower and is avai lablefor an addi t ional fee. It uses Crystal Reports or BOBJ Universes and d oes not current ly wor kdirectly against SAP B I.

on user needs that will have high level of usabilitywe do notbelieve throw in everything in case I might need it.

Develop a conceptual model down to the actual structure of theextracts, data stores, data marts and reports to be developed.

Evaluate the products to use. It also includes whether SAP BI isright and a deep dive into the new AP BI front end products.

Develop a realistic implementation plan including workdayestimates, resource plans and cost for the implementation. Thisalso includes taking into account lower cost alternatives, such as
