4. Risk
…Key Risks to Successful Integration
• Under estimating BI project complexity
• Implementations skills often left to Just In Time
• Un-realistic Expectation setting with project teams as well as
with Clients
• Historical integration issues may still be seen by client as a
roadblock
• Rapid product updates/fixes require regular review/
adjustment of best practices
• Not following Best Practices

5. Risk
… Companies Are Facing Significant Challenges
Multiple Applications and Tools…
Sales Service • Reduce visibility and insight
• Reduce alignment and accountability
• Increase IT workloads and costs
Finance Integration Helps You…
• Streamline processes and workflow
• Share information across the business
Purchasing Manufacturing • Implement standards and controls
• Total cost

6. Risk
Right tool for the right job
Web Intelligence (via OLAP Universes) BEx Analyzer
• Reporting & Analysis • OLAP Cube navigation
• General interactive reporting • BW in place
• BW in place • Target audience: analysts
• Target audience: casual business user
Crystal Reports Xcelsius
• Operational or pixel-perfect reporting • Dashboards and visualization
• ERP (ECC)/Business Suite or BW as data source • BW in place
• Target audience: IT for report authoring / most • Architecture: Query as a Web universes and/or Live
business users for report consumption Office
• Target audience: most business users

7. Approach
• “Waterfall”-like approach
reduces assumption of
continuously required changes
• More formal project
approach allows for
better change
• Incremental approach: assumes continuous changes management after
during implementation impact analysis
• Continuous refinement after review, continuously
changing requirements
• Each change to back-end will invalidate previously
built reports
• SAP’s ASAP Methodology follows “waterfall” and enables such a formal
structure
