Guidance for SAP NetWeaver BW customers
Customers using Web Application Designer (WAD) should adopt Design Studio as their
primary tool for creating dashboards and applications, both on the Web and on mobile
devices.
Customers of SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards should continue with dashboards and
leverage the upcoming HTML5 functionality for on-device dashboards. Customers using
SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards on top of SAP NetWeaver BW should strongly consider
building their new dashboards in Zen.

Selecting the Right SAP BusinessObjects BI Client Using Business Requirements – Financial Area
As Financial Manager for the West Coast Region of North America
I need to be able to analyze cost and profit center actuals towards
the allocated budget along several dimensions. I need to be able to
see these measures along our company structures as well as
being able to compare information from several sources. I also
need to be able add my own calculation to answer on-demand
requests from senior management.
I would like to leverage the information inside Microsoft Excel, but
it also should be possible to use it in a browser.

Summary
Based on the combination of requirements from the Financial Area the recommendation
would be to use
– Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office
– Analysis, edition for OLAP
– Design Studio
Design Studio could be leverage to create a custom BI application / template for the user
audience
For less hierarchical driven reports and a more consumer (less power user) type of audience
Web Intelligence might be an alternative

Selecting the Right SAP BusinessObjects BI Client Using Business Requirements – Sales Area
The Sales Manager for Canada asked me to create a report
for his sales representatives that would allow them to see
their current sales pipeline. He mentioned that the
information needs to be available in the office, on the road,
and on mobile devices.
He also stressed out that each sales representative needs to
be able to change the report “as they wish” so that they can
see the information by opportunity, product, week & month,
and other angles. Actual hierarchies are only used limited.
For him as Sales Manager for Canada, he mentioned it would
be a great value to be able to run some simple scenarios to
see how certain changes could impact the pipeline, for
example a change in the product cost or price.
… and he then also mentioned that sometimes people prefer
just to get an eMail with a PDF file.

What did we hear ?
The information needs to be available on-premise (in the office), offline (on
the road), and on mobile devices
Users need the ability to change the report and change the view on the data.
Only limited use of hierarchies
Distribution of the reports via eMail in a PDF format is also required
For the Sales Management some simple what-if scenarios would be a great
asset

Selecting the Right SAP BusinessObjects BI Client Using Business Requirements – Executive Area
As Executive Manager in this company I need consolidated
information, which provides me with a high-level overview on
all critical corporate KPIs. I need to be able to access this
information anytime, anywhere.
If needed I need to be able to get to the root cause and see
the detailed information.
I also can not always wait for my business analyst of IT to
send me the information when I ask them a question. It
would be good to be able to simply search for the answer by
entering my question.

Use Case
What are the business requirements ?
What is the audience doing with the information ? How are they doing this today ?
How is your audience using the software right now ?
Create a use case on department level, don’t try to make one use case for all your requirements
Audience
Who is your audience?
What are the skills of your audience ?
How is your audience using the software right now ?

Your BI Strategy should start with the business requirements, not with the DWH.
Key Points to Take Home
Start by defining your requirements and your desired outcome.
Focus on the business pain points by area. One use case after the other – not all in once
Understand your audience. Let them describe their workflow. Listen !
Remember – Your BI Strategy starts with the business requirements.. Not with the DWH
