Klappentext zu „Data Modeling in SAP NetWeaver BW “
This book explains (in detail) the concept of developing and implementing an SAP data model. It provides practical coverage of all the concepts and technologies associated with a fundamentally sound data model, ensuring that a model not only satisfies a company s existing reporting and analysis needs, but also one that is built to allow the model to grow and adapt to a company s changing needs/requirements. This book provides up-to-date coverage for SAP NetWeaver BW 7.1, BusinessObjects, while also presenting a roadmap for future data model development and maintenance.
Sound functioning data models are not only a prerequisite to a successful BW landscape, but also fundamental to allowing an organization's reporting and analysis operations to mature, evolve, and expand with the company. This book provides practical coverage of all the concepts and technologies associated with a fundamentally strong data model, ensuring that a model not only satisfies a company's existing reporting and analysis needs today, but also built to grow and adapt to a company's changing needs.
