How does SAP secure customer investments in SAPBW-BPS?

Customers will not be forced to upgrade. All scenarioscreated with SAP BW-BPS* will still run, when SAP BIintegrated business planning was delivered.SAP BW-BPS will continue to be delivered andmaintained with SAP BI releases equal or higher thanSAP NetWeaver 2005.Planning scenarios built with SAP BW-BPS can coexistand integrate with planning scenarios built with SAP BIintegrated business planningApart from this fact, SAP will offer a migration path forthe move from SAP BW-BPS to SAP BI integratedbusiness planning if needed

The critical and time consuming part for modeling theplanning application (characteristics, keyfigures,authorizations, locking concept, ...) can be reused in BIintegrated business planningMore frontend related objects like planning layouts, webinterfaces etc. have to be rebuilt manually

* applies for SAP SEM-BPS, too


Why a New Business Planning Environment?

One generic planning tool for all solutions

Homogeneous analysis and planning user interface

Usage of BW OLAP features (e.g. drill-down, alerting, calculatedkeyfigures, …) for planning

Simplification of system operation using componentconsolidation

Web Dynpro based modeling environment

This step is a part of consistent alignmentwith the Enterprise Service Architecture(ESA) strategy, which is a corecomponent of SAP NetWeaver™
