We had three ASUG BI-related roadmap sessions going on at this time so I feared attendance would be low at this session. Fortunately the ASUG Annual Conference attendees showed up at this session. Please note the usual legal disclaimer applies that things in the future are subject to change.

Figure 1 shows the added value of Analysis Office, including the ease of use with the Design Panel. Some gaps that still exist with Analysis Office include broadcasting and documents.

The following slides were NOT covered during this session but in another session:

A common question is when will Analysis Office support Universes? No news here but Figure 7 shows upcoming updates for Live Office/UNX.
Lastly, one of the reasons I wrote this blog was to support Your mission, should you decide to accept it…Marilyn Prattmission to blog about the event. I hope others will share their experiences as well.
Good to see additional features, Thanks for sharing Tammy 🙂 . When this new update will be available for download ?
I am not sure when – I am sure it will be announced on SCN first
Thanks Tammy,

Waiting so long.
Hi Tammy,
Just to confirm. Is this “beta” version Analysis 2.x ?
And when will it be available as Ramp Up or GA for customers ?
Thanks,
Mina
Figure 2 under planned innovations is Beta 2.0
Thank you! 🙂
On Figure 2 under “Planned Innovations” was “Planned Beta: Q2 2014”. We couldn’t find “Beta 2.0”. However, Figure 4 mentioned it, but we were just unsure. Hence, thank you! for confirming that’s the case.
Good point
it did say planned Q2 but I don’t think it is out yet
Usually it is 2 – 3 months after planned/Ramp-Up to be available for customers. I will check around and will post here if I get further info.
SAP would have to comment when it is in ramp up or GA for customers – I am an SAP customer myself
