Leveraging SAP BI for ALJD JV Business Benefits
• The way forward for ALJD JV is to utilize SAP BI (with Business
Explorer, along with SAP Enterprise Portal Integration for mobile
applications as well) during the initial stages of start-up and
running, and then utilize the capabilities of SAP BI Accelerator
• During the utilization of SAP Business Explorer, our focus will also
be on how to effective use the Query Designer for varying
requirements from various departments, the use of BEx Web
analyzer and BEx Mobile Intelligence.
• ALJD JV IT strategy does not encourage a lot of customization to get
the requirements since a lot of time and effort will be spent on the
same, resulting in reduction in overall ROI gains – SAP BI
Accelerator is expected to align with our IT strategy, since SAP
claims that no customization is required when SAP BI accelerator is
plugged into our SAP system.
