What do you think?
Looks like Live office is going to be a separate product and is no longer be integrated with Analysis for Office as per 2018 BI Convergence Plan! Dallas Marks any thoughts?
Apparently SAP ran into some technical difficulties. But Analysis for MS Office is clearly the "go forward" tool, as it will be gaining additional planning and SAP Analytics Cloud features. Live Office will also continue on the roadmap, albeit in a smaller font size, to support the use cases that cannot be migrated to Analysis for MS Office.
Very helpful thanks.
Do you have a link to the slides?
Thanks

Hi Jay Roble
All road map slides are posted at sap.com/roadmaps (logon with S-User)
Please, does anybody know which repositories will be supported for Promotion Management, in particular..
** Github**
Thanks in advance
Andreas - I recommend creating a new question for this at answers.sap.com
Github repo's support is on the table.
However, there are no shareable details yet and it might change before product is released.
