Description

A warm welcome to the SAP BW/4HANA course by Uplatz.


SAP BW/4HANA module is a packaged data warehouse based on the in-memory architecture SAP HANA. As the on premise data warehouse layer of SAP's Business Technology Platform, it allows you to consolidate data across the enterprise to get a consistent, agreed-upon view of your data. With BW/4HANA, you get the flexibility of using cloud deployment. SAP BW/4HANA comes in three variants and based on the Business need you can choose the deployment option.

With the on premise deployment feature you can use your own infrastructure, customize and extend the solution with complete control of your environment. With the Cloud approach feature on SAP BW/4HANA you can deployed via managed cloud offerings such as SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Microsoft Azure. Users can spin up SAP BW/4HANA in these managed cloud environments quickly and with minimal up-front costs.

SAP BW/4HANA is SAP’s next-generation data warehouse solution. It is a new product from SAP (not a legal successor of any existing SAP Business Warehouse solution), built entirely on one of the most advanced in-memory platforms. SAP BW4/HANA provides a simple set of objects that are well suited for modelling an agile and flexible layered architecture of a modern data warehouse. SAP BW/4HANA manages all sorts of data, whether from SAP applications or other systems, structured or unstructured, and allows accessing of all models through an open SQL interface.

In summary, SAP BW/4HANA is a cloud-based next generation data warehouse solution that brings a new opportunity for agile enterprise data warehousing (EDW) modeling and fast delivery of business analytics & reporting requirements for organizations. SAP BW/4HANA streamlines processes and support innovations with a single, trusted source for real-time insights. For companies seeking solutions in reporting, planning, dashboarding, Big Data, data integration, data engineering, and predictive & prescriptive analytics, SAP BW/4HANA is an ideal system.

SAP BW/4HANA is not just a new version of SAP BW but is only available on the SAP HANA platform, not being part of SAP NetWeaver. It has been completely rewritten and optimized for SAP HANA. Thus all future innovations are associated with the new product and not with the older series of SAP BW 7.x on SAP HANA. Instead there is new SAP HANA-optimized content that leverages the Operational Data Provisioning Framework-based extractors, advanced DataStore objects (DSOs), and Composite Providers.

This SAP BW/4HANA course enables SAP BW users, modelers as well as administrators to run and work with SAP BW/4HANA.
