Why use a the specific SAP BW Implementation
method?



Pre-configured Business Content

SAP BW is not just a Data Warehouse…

It requires a specific methodology to benefit from Business Content

SAP BW uses a very specific data model
SAP BW speaks “business language”

Early Success is possible

Iterative Approach – Implement in cycles
SAP recommends a three layer model (see next foil)




2nd layer: BW implementation
3rd layer: BW Project Mgmt.
Project plans, Skill descriptions, Tools and Accelerators available online


1st layer: BW Strategic Planning
