QLIKVIEW CONNECTORFOR USE WITH SAPNETWEAVER Increasing the Value of SAP with Quick,Flexible, Ad Hoc Business DiscoveryOrganizations have spent millions automating their business processes.But many still lack the ability to fully leverage the wealth of datacontained in SAP. SAP’s OLAP-based business intelligence (BI) iscomplex and predicated on an all-SAP cube structure. ABAP queries,SAP BW, and module reports can be difficult to use. In contrast,QlikView’s associative, in-memory platform with the QlikView Connectorfor use with SAP NetWeaver enables SAP users to perform quick,flexible, visual, ad hoc analysis and reporting to enable BusinessDiscovery. This analysis can also integrate data from external non-SAPsources. Using QlikView, organizations complement their centralizedSAP reporting capabilities with instant, user-driven analysis, allowingdecision-making at the speed of business.INSIGHTS ARE LOCKED UP IN SAPWe frequently hear SAP users complain about the difficulty ofaccessing and analyzing their SAP data. ABAP queries, SAP BW, andmodule reports take users part way to the insights they need but haveserious shortcomings. It is difficult to interact with the SAP systemacross its entire dataset, or even across multiple dimensions withintables. Conducting reporting and analysis across tables, and integratingdata from other systems, are extremely challenging. Built for centralizedreporting, SAP and most third-party add-on tools lack the flexibility tomeet business users’ requirements for tools they can use to exploredata and ask and answer their own questions. This is especially truewhen requirements include combining SAP data with data from othersources, and when large data volumes cripple performance. As a result,SAP users lack visibility into their business processes and criticalinsights remain hidden away inside the SAP environment.qlikview.comQLIKVIEW HIGHLIGHTSIn one unified solution, QlikViewhelps organizations enableBusiness Discovery: The QlikView associativeexperience.
