About the White Paper:
Written by the leading experts in the field, "Mastering the SAP Business Information Warehouse" shows you how to implement the SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) and create useful applications for business analysis of company-wide data. You'll quickly learn how to design, build, analyze, and administer the data and information in the SAP BW component. The authors present the material in a way that reflects the process an organization goes through during a software implementation. They begin with an introduction to the fundamentals of data warehousing and business intelligence, helping you determine if SAP BW is right for your organization. The book then focuses on the business content and options available when trying to deliver value from the data stored in the SAP BW. And it includes a methodology for implementing the BW, such as data modeling and techniques for capturing and transforming data.
Chapter 1, "The Origins of Business Intelligence" covers early data processing applications, extract files, data warehouses, information and transformation processing, data quality and more. This chapter also leads into a discussion of how SAP has evolved into a business intelligence provider.
