REQUIREMENTS

  • An SAP BW system that had grown over many years. It no longer met the requirements for agility and flexibility. Operating costs were also rising steadily. As a result, acceptance of the old solution among specialist departments was declining.
  • The more than 1,000 short-term individual queries from shareholders can only be answered with a great deal of manual effort.
  • A new, modern, flexible, and stable DWH solution had to be found to overcome these problems. The implementation project was to be based on agile methods.
  • Future requirements in the area of connected cars and advanced analytics should also be possible.

OUR SERVICES

  • Analysis and determination of BI maturity as a basis for developing a BI strategy
  • Recommendation of a hybrid data warehouse architecture consisting of SAP BW/4 HANA and HANA SQL with a high degree of virtualization for greater agility and flexibility
  • Creation of solution design and implementation of BW/4 HANA data warehouse

CLIENT VALUE

  • Future-proof and innovative LSA++ architecture
