heterogeneous environments. After redistribution of consolidated master data into the source systems the quality

of the reports will be improved.

To accelerate implementation, pre-built content & predefined services of the SAP NetWeaver MDM Rapid

With SAP HANA 1.0, customers can can instantly explore and analyze all of their transactional and analytical data from

virtually any data source in real time. Due to real-time replication, operational data from an SAP system can be captured in

memory as business happens. New business content provides immediate access to analytical models and can be flexibly

customized or efficiently developed from scratch.

To expand analysis across the entire organization, data from other systems can be added to analytical models with

Data Services 4.0.

SAP HANA 1.0 is non-invasive to the landscape and all other analytics activities can continue as before.

Note: The growth options for this landscape will build on the next version of HANA which is covered in the next version of

this guide.

SAP Master Data Governance in SAP ERP 6.05 Baseline

SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) is integral part of SAP ERP 6.0 EhP5 and features out-of-the-box, domain-

specific master data governance applications to centrally create, change and distribute master data with a focus

on SAP Business Suite. Supported domains are financial data, supplier data and material data. Replication to

SAP systems (even before ERP 6.0) is delivered out-of-the-box, the replication to non-SAP system is done via

enterprise services, ALE/iDocs, RFC or file. Leading MDG system is either an existing system or any newly set-

up ERP 6.05 system.

Note: Since SAP Master Data Governance does not support master data consolidation or harmonization, the key

value will be in streamlining business processes (operational MDM) while ensuring master data governance, with

only an implicit effect on enterprise reporting (analytical MDM).

Recommendation 1: Replace non-SAP data warehouse by

an SAP BW 7.3, accelerated by BW Accelerator 7.20 Baseline

SAP NW Business Warehouse 7.3 differentiates from other data warehouses through its strong business focus:

this starts with rich business content for quick implementation and business-oriented modeling patterns

supporting a consistent layered scalable architecture paradigm. Data acquisition is out-of-the-box for SAP

sources and very flexible for non-SAP sources through Data Services 4.0. A highly flexible authorization concept

ensures compliance with any company‟s security guidelines.The enterprise-ready lifecylce management covers

3-tier deployment (Dev/QA/Prod), meta data lifecycle management (like versioning, remodelling, deployment to

prod. environment etc.) and information lifecycle management (like data data aging strategies, Nearline Storage

support and archiving).

SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator 7.20 facilitates scalability for high-volume data and large end user populations at

minimum cost of operations.

SAP NetWeaver BW tightly integrates with SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1. This enables consolidated reporting in

cross-system environments where MDM 7.1 is the central hub for harmonized master data. It also reduces costs

and gains competitive advantage through MDM-supported BW analysis scenarios (like vendor evaluation, global

spend analysis, top N customer analysis).

By consolidating all data warehouses into a single SAP NetWeaver BW that is accelerated by

SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator 7.20, customers can significantly reduce TCO, establish a genuine

single source of truth and accelerate reporting performance by applying in-memory technology.

This consolidation is best realized on SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 to benefit from the improvements in

As an interim step towards complete consolidation (see recommendation 2.1), only some data

warehouses are consolidated into a central data warehouse. This is realized easiest for the SAP BW

systems first and best on SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 as platform.

As compared to recommendation 2.1, only a subset of benefits is realized with respect to TCO reduction,

SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management 7.1 is geared to consolidate, harmonize and centrally manage master data of

SAP and heterogeneous environments.

SAP NetWeaver BW tightly integrates with SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1. This enables consolidated reporting in cross-system

environments where MDM is the central hub for harmonized master data as well as reduces costs and gains competitive

advantage through MDM-supported BW analysis scenarios (like vendor evaluation, global spend analysis, top N customer

analysis). Some data warehouses also integrate with SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 via the MDM connector and can serve as

master data source and as distribution target.

To accelerate implementation, pre-built content & predefined services of the SAP NetWeaver MDM Rapid Deployment

Solution (RDS) for customer data integration (CDI) can be used.

provides an end-to-end view on how to leverage and deploy the

SAP BusinessObjects BI portfolio as part of the customer overall ERP and data

warehousing landscape

discusses landscape patterns, scenarios, and best practices for how customers are using

SAP or non-SAP based packaged applications and data warehouse solutions

is currently based on the XI 3.1 release of the SAP BusinessObjects BI portfolio,

but will be updated to BI 4.0 shortly

is available for download in the SAP Community Network

This Guide

focuses on SAP„s EIM solution portfolio

makes no assumptions on BI Tool Suite used

uses the same landscape patterns as the BI Solution Architecture

gives no recommendations which SAP BI Tools should be used when

(unless a recommended EIM solution requires a certain SAP BI tool on top)
