SAP BW4 HANA - management system

SAP BW4 HANA

SAP BW∕4HANA is a solution for operative data warehousing with flexible data modelling optimized for SAP HANA with up-to-date interface.

Data modelling

Full-scale and meaningful analysis of data is possible only when data from diverse sources in various formats are integrated in a unified request.

The tools of InfoProvider are used for data storage. Depending on requirements data can be stored in InfoProviders with different level of detail. Scalable multilevel architecture (LSA++) allows designing and implementing various levels in SAP BW∕4HANA for data receipt, corporate memory, data distribution and analysis.

InfoProviders tools typical consist of InfoObjects. InfoObjects are the smallest items of information in SAP BW∕4HANA. Using InfoObjects transforms data to structured form, which is required for data warehousing.
