SAP Lumira – tool for creating data visualisation

SAP BI-IP – advanced planning engine integrated with SAP

solutions

SAP BPC – tool for planning for end-users, integrated with

solutions other than SAP ones

AVAILABLE SOLUTIONS

SHORTER PROGRAMMING TIME

by over 50%SAP delivers

more than

9000 CDS views

as part of S/4HANA at

no extra chargé - which

significantly speeds up

standard development

time.

These predefined views

can be used directly as a

base for your reporting

front-end tools or can

be reused in your own

customized

developments.

You can choose between SAP BW/4HANA and SAP BW on HANA. HANA is

an in-memory database, a powerful product of SAP.

SAP BW on HANA is a warehouse using the HANA database. In the

past, SAP BW could be used with different databases, like Oracle.

HANA is much faster and better equipped for performing analytical

tasks, so today this is the first choice. However, SAP BW on HANA will

not be supported after 2027 – which means after this date, there will

be no more updates or new options.

SAP BW/4HANA is a warehouse that was designed from the very

beginning to draw all the advantages from the HANA database. Most

operations were pushed to the database, so the application works

much faster, has much greater efficiency in generating reports and

data processing, reduces ABAP coding effort, and enables much

simpler maintenance of the architecture.

STORAGE AND PROCESSING OF DATA FROM DIFFERENT SYSTEMS.

SAP BUSINESS WAREHOUSE (SAP BW ON HANA & SAP BW/4HANA).


2 / 9

DATA WAREHOUSE is a tool that allows you to store, modify and

consolidate data from different systems,

in order to prepare them for reporting tools.

BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTATION

Access to consolidated data from all SAP

modules

Storing historical data for creating predictive

analytics

Analysing and comparing data flowing from

all areas of the company in one placeIf you are using an ERP

system, usually you cannot

compare data from different

modules, for example:

controlling and finances.

A data warehouse makes it

possible and lets you analyse

your company’s situation in a comprehensive, more

informed way.

A COMPLETE PACKAGE OF ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR COMPANIES.

SAP BUSINESS OBJECTS.


3 / 9

SAP Business Objects package

is going through

big changes.

The solutions included

in it (eg Dashboards,

Explorer) are merged

and modified, which gives

analysts more

possibilities - while using

a smaller number of solutions.

BUSINESS OBJECTS PLATFORM is a perfect solution if you are not sure

which the main tool for reporting to choose for your company. The

software has many functionalities, which gives you a chance to test

them and choose the most suitable one.


Access to a package of solutions that meet the

company's various analytical needs.

Generating reports - both by advanced users and

those without technical knowledge of analytical

systems or databases.

Accessing the solutions either on-premise, or via

an internet browser (depending on the product).

PACKAGE FUNCTIONALITIES

The platform is used to create dashboards and reports, as well as to

access the data from databases and data warehouses. Users can

create tables with all data, regardless of its source. Creating queries

and reports is very easy and intuitive, thanks to which end-users

without technical knowledge of databases can use the platform

without the support of their company’s IT department.

WEB INTELLIGENCE - a tool available via a web browser for

creating simple reports and visualizations and sharing them

online.

CRYSTAL REPORTS - an on-premise solution that allows

advanced users to create more complex reports.

SAP LUMIRA - a product for both advanced users and those

without extensive technical knowledge; allows you to create not

only simple but also very complex analytical applications.

!

SAP LUMIRA is built on two applications:

✓ Lumira Discovery lets you Discover and explore

data from different data sources, make simple

queries and draw conclusions based on data

analysis.

✓ Lumira Design is a tool for creating analytical

applications and dashboards. Lumira Designer

allows developers to add their own designed

buttons, widgets, sliders and maintain logic for

them using JavaScript based code. As a result, you

can create very complex reports for your company.

SOFTWARE FOR CREATING BASIC AND COMPLEX ANALYTICAL

APPLICATIONS. SAP LUMIRA.


4 / 9

SAP LUMIRA lets you create analytical reports,

dashboards and visualisations. Its biggest advantage over

similar solutions is the range of possibilities it offers to

advanced users.


Creating interactive reports, analyzes and business

visualizations.

Writing advanced analytical applications in JavaScript

Analysis of data presented in an intuitive,

transparent form.SAP Lumira is designed to meet

the self-service

data visualization and real-time

analysis needs

of business users, while

enabling technical power

users to create more

sophisticated analytic

applications. As a result, it lets

everyone execute

with greater agility and with

greater focus on core

business transformation goals.

SAP BI-IP is a great tool for planning for SAP

ERP system or SAP BW, on every level of the

company – from the board to the team

leaders.

However, remember that this software is not

meant for end-users: to use it, you need a

technical knowledge on SAP BW.

PLANNING AT EVERY LEVEL OF THE ENTERPRISE.

SAP BI-IP: BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE - INTEGRATED PLANNING.


5 / 9

SAP BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE - INTEGRATED PLANNING is an

engine-based add-on. It is used for planning – on every level of

the company, and in every department..

With BI-IP, you can implement a planning process, e.g. for:

his year’s budget or sales,

expected margins after a marketing campaign,

controlling processes and so on.

Thanks to distribution function, with one tool you can create a

general plan, and then push it to the lower levels of the

company, so managers can create their plans based on the

strategic goal or estimated overall budget. Then it can be

pushed even lower, to team leaders, so they can create their

assumptions within the limits of the higher-tier plan.

The tool allows you to create any detailed forecast, in which

every deviation will be immediately visible – and hence possible

to correct.

All functionalities

of the product will be

available,

but only as a part

of SAP BPC, not

standalone.

SAP-IP will become a part of

SAP BPC 11.0

SAP BPC is an application, while SAP BI-IP – an engine.

BPC is really based on the IP engine, but because it is an

application, it facilitates the creation and management of

planning processes by offering functionalities built

directly into them. In short, SAP BPC facilitates the

process of creating and managing, but as a result, lacks

full customization options. SAP BI-IP is full customizable

but offers no support when creating anything: everything

needs to be created from scratch there.

SAP BPC can be used with platforms other than SAP ones

(e.g.: Microsoft SQL Server). Next, the queries can be

created via the internet browser. There are many

predefined functions, and because of them, after

additional training, even end-users without technical

knowledge will be able to use them.

STORING AND PROCESSING OF DATA FROM DIFFERENT SYSTEMS.

SAP BUSINESS PLANNING AND CONSOLIDATION.


6 / 9

SAP BUSINESS PLANNING AND CONSOLIDATION is an

application designed for planning. It has the same functions

as SAP BI-IP: it lets you create plans for any department in

the company and for its every level. There are a few

important differences between those two tools though:


Creating any plans (budget, margin, controlling, etc.)

for every level of the company.

Access for both advanced and novice users of

analytical applications.

Option to collect and work with data from various

systems, not only SAP.

The ability to enter data into the tool directly from

Excel files (thanks to the Analysis For Microsoft

Office plugin).

The tool can be integrated

with other SAP products,

for example,

SAP Analytics Cloud.

As a front-end solution,

SAP Analytics Cloud would

be used as an interface,

while all calculations,

processes and data came

from SAP BPC.

QUICK DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN SYSTEMS.

SAP DATA SERVICES.


7 /9

SAP DATA SERVICES is a tool that performs a very

specific function: it enables fast data transfer

between one system and another, regardless of the

way in which this data is stored in those individual

systems.

This tool is not a data warehouse - it does not store

data, but only transmits it. Compared to a solution

like SAP Business Warehouse, however, it has a big

advantage. It is an ETL tool, so unlike SAP BW, which

must carry out a lot of operations on the data to

prepare it for transfer, SAP Data Services transfers the

data much faster and more efficiently.

Did you know that poor

data quality causes

40% of all business initatives to

fail?

SAP Data services

allows you to integrate

and organize

your unstructured data

from 220 different file and text

formats,

as well as semistructured data

in 31 languages.

!

MACHINE LEARNING IN PLANNING, PREDICTION AND DATA PROCESSING.

SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD.


8 / 9

In SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD you find three complex components:

Business Intelligence (for data processing),

planning,

predictive analysis.

Moreover, it can also be a database - you can load data into it from

many external sources and transform it however you like. The tool is

based on the cloud - which means that the tool is available through a

web browser from any device and at any time.

You can use SAP Analytics

Cloud on mobile devices

such as tablets or

smartphones.

The tool takes full

advantage of mobile

functions - it allows

you e.g. to talk to other

users while working with

visualizations or using the

tool options.


Data storage and aggregation in an intuitive tool,

making it easily accessible.

Creating visualizations, dashboards and planning

models with just a few clicks - intuitive even for users

without extensive technical knowledge.

For users who know the R programming language - the

ability to create extensive visualizations and reports.

Use of predictive analysis to predict the effects of even

small changes.

No fees for implementation and maintenance - the

solution is based on the cloud.

Researching industry trends and analyzing their impact

on the company's results.MACHINE LEARNING TECHNOLOGY

Enables you to discover relationships between data,

unnoticeable at first glance.

Detects anomalies in data.

Trains predictive models, thanks to which they become more

and more accurate in predicting the results of even small

changes over time.

Allows the user to ask direct questions (for example, "Which

product sold the best in 2020?") And immediately generates a

response, indicating the report from which it took the data.
