So you've purchased and installed SAP BW at your company and you've created some basic reports. You're happy that you've been able to retrieve data into the BW BEx Analyzer, but you're not sure how to increase the usability for your users. Should you learn how to change the look and feel of the reports? Should you eliminate some functionality to 'protect your users from the system'? Should you find a way of putting all your reports into one printable package?

This checklist provides you with proven project strategies that quite simply increase the use of your BW reporting. The following scenarios will illustrate ways you can achieve a successful implementation of BW by increasing the number of users and the frequency that these users access data.
