#BW4HANA #SAP #SAPBW
Thank you for a very useful schedule of Webinars!
Nice. Thanks! 🙂
Thank you for these presentations, but can SAP state clearly what can be done on BW4 HANA and what can be achieved in S/4 HANA. Because there is a lot of confusion in industry on why we need BW4HANA if S/4HANA has all the OLAP capabilities. This question has been daunting for almost 3 years and still SAP doesn't clear the cloud. For once for all can SAP clearly provide the guidance.
Hi Harshith,
thanks for your comment.
Please have a look to this blog (https://blogs.sap.com/2017/08/15/sap-s4hana-and-sap-bw4hana-what-to-do-where/) which answers all your questions in detail.
In short there a different use cases for S/4 and BW/4 and a Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), SAP BW/4HANA consolidates data across the entire enterprise using a standardized but fully extensible data model, to support decision making. By defining common semantics, all data values get harmonized and the result is a ‘single version of truth’.
BR
Gordon.
