1.0 Introduction
In the fiercely increasing competition amongst
corporations it has become mandatory to make quick and sound crucial
business decisions based on analysis of business critical data. This
is the point where data warehouses come into play. Although many
companies are relying on data warehouses, they are still struggling
to achieve positive results due to fragmented and inconsistent data.
For them SAP’s Business Information Warehouse (BW) provides a
complete information factory solution. BW is the central component
in the SAP suite of applications with an added advantage of being a
software package that can be used in both SAP and non-SAP
environments.

For the modern
enterprise, time wasted due to data loss and inconsistencies
is unacceptable, particularly when this can often be remedied
easily through the use of a data warehouse. SAP introduced
Business Warehouse Information Systems (BW) in the first half
of 1997. This system approach consolidates the external and
the internal sources of data into a single repository and
provides preconfigured data that aids the organizations and
enterprises in dealing with the data management and archiving.
The SAP environment therefore expanded its horizon with the
introduction and implementation of SAP BW to encompass new
applications for the SAP R/3 administrators responsible for
administering and maintenance of these data reserves. |
