Hannah Smalltree, Editorial DirectorIt all depends how you define 'BI' solution? However, the biggest challange you will face is the data extraction from SAP R/3 and will miss all the analytics that comes with BW. And if you are using other SAP products, such as SEM, APO, CRM, etc, all use BW, then you will have no choice but to go with BW otherwise, you will end up re-doing everything what SAP has already done for you (in BW).
