Modelling and Reporting With SAP Business Information Warehouse 3.5

Modelling and Reporting with SAP® BW > Detailed introduction > Practical functions > Comprehensive, step by step case study Peter Lehmann, Klaus Freyburger, Andreas Seufert, Wolfgang Zirn, Sven Grasse, Christian Suhl The SAP® Business Information Ware-house becomes progressively more important as the infrastructure for corporate analysis and management. What we aim at with this book, is to provide a general understanding for the terms in the data warehouse area. Based on this, we will teach the functionality and applications of SAP® BW together with its analysis and reporting aspects. In this respect, we'll be focusing on the Administrator Workbench as a tool for modelling multidimensional information structures, together with the potential to analyse data from the end-users' perspective as well as identifying some of the key functions to create web-based companywide reports. With a case study for the analysis of key sales figures, the functions of SAP® BW are introduced step by step and explained in detail. This book is addressed to everybody who wants to read up quickly, comprehensively and practically on SAP® BW and therefore especially to decision makers, consultants and project collaborators. Last but not least, it is especially suitable for lecturers and university students.
