BW / BI

BW - Business Warehousing

For the corporate organization, time wasted due to data loss and inconsistencies is unacceptable and will impact the bottomline, 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 corporate 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.
