ThinqSpot Inc. can guide you on which latest version of SAP BW is right for you. Whether you are considering an upgrade to SAP BW 7.5 on HANA or SAP BW/4HANA,
So, what is SAP BW/4HANA anyway?. SAP BW4/HANA is the next-generation Enterprise Data Warehousing solution from SAP that is completely optimized and tailored to SAP HANA. The BW/4HANA code can only run on SAP HANA as it is interwoven with SAP HANA engines and libraries. So, what do you stand to gain by upgrading to SAP BW/4 HANA?
1. Simplicity - It is well known that prior versions of BW have around 15 different object types (info cubes, multi providers, Info Objects, etc.) to build a data warehouse. In BW/4HANA, there will be only 4 that are at least as expressive and powerful as the previous 15. BW/4HANA’s building blocks are more versatile. Data models can now be built with fewer building blocks, and are more flexible and simpler to maintain.
2. Openness- SAP BW/4HANA apart from offering a managed approach to Data Warehousing that has been the cornerstone of SAP BW's strength, also offers complete flexibility to work with Native SQL. BW/4HANA models and data can be exposed as SAP HANA views that can be accessed via standard SQL, without losing the robust security features that SAP BW offers.
3. Modern Interface - Say goodbye to SAP GUI. BW/4HANA will be waving goodbye to the familiar SAP GUI interface, and will move forward with modern Eclipse integrated 'BW Modeling Tools' for data modeling and web based UIs for admin and monitoring.
4. High Performance - With more algorithm push-down to SAP HANA, no aggregates, fewer indexes and faster loading and processing combined with LSA++ architecture, SAP BW/4HANA offers excellent performance. By also offering inbuilt 'Data Lifecycle Management', Organizations can effectively manage their data while maximizing the performance and managing TCO.
