But, one important innovation is finally not included into this release:
the ability for SAP Analytics Cloud to access and consume the SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence data model.
The Web Intelligence data model allows to expose all the data (Dimensions, Measures, Variables), stored in any WebI documents, to SAP Analytics Cloud in order to leverage them with the same advantages than the universe access (see previous paragraph).
