Essentially, the purpose of BI is simple: Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) of large volumes of operative and historical data. OLAP technology makes multidimensional analysis possible from various business perspectives.
BI facilitates the purposeful distribution of information within companies according to its division of roles.

Information systems must meet the following decision-makers. Requirements:

Immediate, single-point access to all relevant information from any source Full coverage of all business processes Cross-system and cross-process analyses have an increasingly important role. High-quality information Data contents and the option of flexible data analysis are important here. High-quality support for decision-making based on the requirements of operational and strategic management Shorter implementation time with no labor-intensive data staging required

The essential differences between OLTP environments and OLAP environments are as follows:

Level of Detail
OLTP : High level | OLAP : High Performance compressed

History
Minimal data in OLTP after Archive | Comprehensive in WH.

Changeability
Operation frequently changed | Analysis frozen after point in time

Integration
integrated information for analysis is very high

Normalization
Less is used en warehousing due to performance

Optimized access
OLAP optimum read access

Key figures :are values or quantities (for example, sales revenue, fixed costs, number of employees, order quantity, and so on). Characteristics : represent the reference values for key figures. In other words, key figures are applied to characteristics. Examples include:

The order quantity (key figure) of a customer (characteristic) or the sales revenue (key figure) of an article (characteristic)

A dimension : is a view of the key figures.

Collect all of the information requirements for the area for which you want to use SAP BI. Structure the information requirements in the form of a logical model. Transfer the data into a physical data model containing all of the required SAP BI InfoObjects. Check whether you can use the objects delivered by SAP.

SAP Business Suite

Predefined extractions structures

SOAP used to transfer through XI External OLTP Providers Import data through BI target oriented Data Load data from external database systems

NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI)

Non-SAP systems

Data providers

Databases (DB Connect) and UDI

Determine the basic key figures and compare these with the Business Content in the metadata repository. Compare the scenarios in your logical data model with the Business Content InfoCubes, queries, and workbooks. Check the Business Content queries for your key figures. Check the data flow for the key figures you have determined.

The option of distributing reporting results to various groups. The following are scenarios in which you can use information broadcasting:
A team wants to receive immediate e-mail notification about low sales figures. Weekly reports should be updated every Friday morning, so that they are available in sufficient time for the team meeting in the virtual rooms on SAP NetWeaver Portal. An employee wants to receive a warning message if one of his or her TOP customers is experiencing long wait times for a delivery.

Notification of changes Option for personal notes Feedback and evaluation Searches and classifications for full text attributes Available for administrators and end users Published ad-hoc, planned or event triggered Publication in different formats

Consequently, the following factors come into play as cost drivers:

Maintenance and operating costs Integration costs, in particular, when a company is restructured Upgrades require more effort and new systems are not easy to integrate. Efforts required in reporting

Master data cleansing

To ensure comparability between the different versions of master data, you can use master data cleansing to normalize and standardize the master data You ensure that all of the master data corresponds to the defined rules. You can complete or correct incomplete or incorrect master data You can use the search and compare functions (matching) to identify duplicates and to merge master data records into one master data record (merging) to generate unified, consistent data.
