ANP100 SAP BusinessObjects Lumira + SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio = Lumira 2.0 #SAPTechEd Recap
Eric Schemer and Ashok Kumar presented this session last week at SAP TechEd Las Vegas
SAP is moving forward in its convergence strategy
They are consolidating to have a small number of BI dedicated clients in its portfolio
Starting SAP Lumira 2.0, you won’t hear about Design Studio as a product, but it’s there, converged with Lumira product

Importance of BI platform is shown by ongoing investment
Analysis Office has reached over 8K customers; interop options for Lumira 2.0, bringing data together in Lumira 2.0 and leverage MS office environment
Later this is there will be a private beta for Lumira 2.0 starting in December; Q1 next year is ramp-up, and in Q2 plan to go to general availability
This takes longer; “benefits of one product” outweigh going forward separately

What the merger means for the business
Lumira Desktop client will be called “Discovery” with better BW/HANA online integration
For developers, keep the studio experience – “Designer” for expert and developers

Figure 10 shows the high level architecture
Lumira Desktop was strong using offline, data prep, and velocity engine; what was missing in Lumira Desktop was online integration into BW
With Lumira Discovery it will have BW online connectivity
Designer (today’s Design Studio) – good BW integration but weak merging data, offline data, and will have velocity engine from Lumira; can use data prep from Lumira
Interop planned for Designer and Discovery

This shows the workflows planned for the product
If you are a business user, and work with discovery, you can push your stories to the Designer
Designer can open it and use SDK, JavaScripting to deploy into professional applicaiton
Another scenario is the self service and a customized discovery experience
