Case study · Industry: Manufacturing
A Four-Month Upgrade Gave a Manufacturer a Faster Month-End and More People Using the Reports
The Problem
The manufacturer's SAP users were held back by its Business Warehouse and the BusinessObjects and Power BI reports on it:
- Data extraction and transformation took so long that data arrived late.
- Reports slowed down as more entities went live on SAP ECC and BW.
- Month-end reporting was a struggle, and the business wanted reporting closer to real time.
What We Did
We upgraded the company to SAP BW 7.4 on SAP HANA 2.0. Over four months, IT and the business worked through the technical issues, testing, validation and performance analysis together.
The Business Impact
- A faster month-end, from shorter data extraction and transformation.
- Better performance in every area of the business.
- More finance and manufacturing people using the reports.
- BusinessObjects and Power BI dashboards that load much faster.
