Implementation Best PracticesSAP Digital Boardroom


Implementation Best PracticesDigital Boardroom Design

Make yourself familiar with the SAP Digital Boardroom concept and the multi-touch-screen ideology• An interactive Agenda orchestrates the executive meeting. In the multi-screen setup,

information is provided on 3 screens for the respective agenda points:• Overview Screen (left) – displays high-level key metrics of the company in a

consolidated fashion. Can be used to navigate into the details of each section usingother screens

• Main / Exploration Screen (center)-displays details sections of the OverviewScreen, and also for exploring the individualsections to get answers to ad-hoc questions

• Context Information (right) – providesdetailed context and more insights. Supportsthe Main screen in finding the exact answers



Understand the content mapping to the Digital Boardroom ideology• For SAP Digital Boardroom, organizing the content is key:

• Only important information pertinent to a Board meeting should be visualized via the“active board”

• KPIs need to be harmonized across different data sources• Content from different business areas needs to be aligned on a single semantic model.• One reporting environment to monitor historical, actual

and forecast data needs to be enabled• Drill-down to the line item level from aggregated

visualization must be enabled where needed



A good understanding of how the Board runs the business and how your Board meetingsare conducted are fundamental for a clean Digital Boardroom design.• Design Thinking is the recommended methodology for a structured discussion with your C-

level users. The approach helps understand:• The planned Digital Boardroom scenario• The standardized metrics involved• Data types available in your system and any external data needed (e.g. stock price,

analyst estimates, external benchmarks, market share data, etc.)• Data availability and data harmonization needed so that

every KPI shows consistently the same value whenlooked at from different perspectives

• Visualizations needed



Acquire knowledge on SAP BusinessObjects Cloud as the underlying analytics solutionfor the Digital Boardroom• SAP BusinessObjects Cloud is the technological foundation and analytics platform for SAP

Digital Boardroom. It is critical that your Boardroom design corresponds to the functionalcapabilities of the underlying analytics solution.

• With regards to your Boardroom project:• With BI, you can discover your data and create visual content (KPIs, visualizations,

stories, drill-down)• You can add simulation, planning/what-if/predictive aspects to your Boardroom

• With SAP Digital Boardroom, you orchestrate this content into the Agenda and screen-flows.



Review the high-level architecture with the data sources, harmonized data model andvisualization layers

• SAP Digital Boardroom connects via replication or online access to both:• On-premise data sources / applications• Other Cloud data sources / applications

• When available a consolidated data mart layer (SAP HANA, SAP BW, etc.) on top oftransaction systems, it is recommended to leverage this investment by pushing datamodelling activities to these systems (even for on-premise scenarios) and using SAPBusinessObjects Cloud for visualization.



Learn about the content objects available in SAP Digital Boardroom / SAPBusinessObjects Cloud• Example: Views in your HANA

system are consumed in SAP BOCloud as a model, where KPI’s,visualization and stories are buildon top.

• As a next step, the stories areorchestrated in a 3-screen flowwith an interactive agenda.



Leverage best-practice reporting principles based on Information Design (part 1)• Use your Boardroom “real estate” smartly by eliminating whitespaces, condensing

information and highlighting only information that is important• Arrange your “active tiles” in the layout by grouping related insights - so that cause & effect

analyses are possible easily• Standardize visual content (charts and their

elements, tables, colors, data series, axes,phrases, abbreviations) for a repeatableexperience – each aspect should have thesame meaning across the different visualobjects (e.g. red color in charts alwaysmeans a “negative difference”). Your end-users want to be able to move their attentionfast without losing context.



Leverage best-practice reporting principles based on Information Design (part 2)• Put proper labels to charts, dimensions, measures, units, etc. so that your end-users always

know what they are looking at• Choose the right chart types based on best practice for the respective case (example:

Deviation Chart when comparing with target, Comparison chart when comparing entities witheach other, Trend line charts for over-time display, etc.). Use chart scaling consistently

• Remove visual clutter - the key message ofeach screen should become evident within 3seconds. Remove 3D effects, shadows,unnecessary colors, fonts or frames. Avoidduplicate texts. Shorten long numberrepresentations. Use colors only when theyhave a meaning.



Have your Boardroom design aligned with the capabilities of the analytics solution• Actively involve tool experts for SAP BusinessObjects Cloud / Digital Boardroom in your

design discussion. It is critical that the Boardroom design corresponds to the functionalcapabilities of the underlying analytics solution.

• Assess company-specific corporatedesign guidelines. If your companyprescribes any specific design rulesfor handling charts – e.g. the width ofbars, color coding, whitespacesbetween visual objects, any specificchart types, etc., check how theserequirements can be handled by thetool.



Determine critical skills required for your projectThe following skills should be considered for a Digital Boardroom implementation project:• System Administration for IT landscape set-up - installation, configuration, monitoring /

performance, security:• System Administration for SAP BO Cloud• Data Source Landscape Administrator• Boardroom Set-up configuration• Modelling• Visualization• Business Process Knowledge• User Experience• Regular projects skills (project management,

testers, etc.)



To speed up and safeguard your Boardroom implementation project, it is recommendedthat you leverage the SAP service portfolio with standard services, tailored for theindividual project aspects:• Digital Boardroom Design• Financial Transformation• Strategic Functional Architecture• Content Orchestration• Technical Architecture, Infrastructure

and Authorizations• Implementation incl. activation of

Best Practice packages, Applicationconfiguration, Data Integration, etc.
