Analysis OLAP converges to Design Studio

Major investments in Design Studio but not in Dashboards, BEx Web or Analysis OLAP

Most customers are using Design Studio with BI Platform

New investments for NetWeaver and HANA deployments are not planned

If starting with Design Studio projects start with BI Platform

Planned GA end of November, early December

Four features in Figure 4 – end user analysis

Enhanced geomaps, able to add pie chart to geomaps, or add custom markers, images, graphics

Scorecard is formatted table that can cover all formatting requirements.  A butterfly table has a dimension in middle, key figure on right and left side

Standard crosstab is dimensions on the left

Spreadsheet is alternative to crosstab; more Excel like, look and feel

Timer can be used as a refresh for near real time scenarios

Tree is a new component – display hierarchical structures; the tree component to display bookmark folders on BI Platform

CSV file as datasource – in local mode, to help designers and developers create applications

Increased limit of universe connections to 20K rows, multi-source universes, right to left support

Note - the slides below were covered in a demo, but it is hard to capture those in screen shots.

Analytical application is out of the box, generic analysis (ready to run application) – you can choose BW query or HANA view as a data source

Spreadsheet, hide show – what you can do with crosstab you can do with the spreadsheet component; also can use the planning scenario
