SAP BW/4HANA
SAP BW
The basic function of a data warehouse is to collect and process information in one place and prepare it for use in presentation tools. Within the SAP BW tool, all the important functions of importing, processing, consolidating and storing the necessary data are embedded. The advantages of using SAP BW for enterprise Business Intelligence solutions include the SAP BW Business Content component. SAP Business Content represents predefined enterprise content for different business user roles and industries based on experience and development for individual customers.
It includes comprehensive data models from importing data from source transaction systems, through processing and storing in data targets, to ready-made and pre-packaged reports. The predefined content also includes the functionality to export data on the source systems side according to individual predefined fields and modules. This functionality is continuously evolving and expanding to include new areas and business roles, ensuring that the SAP BW data warehouse can be used as the primary source environment for all enterprise reporting requirements.
SAP BW is based on SAP Netweaver technology, the latest version of which, SAP Netweaver 7.5, is supported until 2027.
