What is an Enterprise Data Warehouse?
Functions of the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW)
Characteristics
• Consolidates data across the
Analytics enterprise
Business Intelligence, Predictive, Planning • Standardized data model
• Supports decision making

Feeding
external
systems
Main Tasks
Big Data Data Warehouse • Define common semantics
Hadoop “Single Point of Truth”
Planning & • Harmonize data values
Forecast
• Establish a ‘single version of truth’
Streaming Virtual Access Batch (ETL) Real-time • Provide a single, comprehensive
source of current and historical
Data Sources information
SAP, non-SAP, On premise, Cloud • Keep copy of source data to
ensure independency of source
and support the unknown

The Next Generation Data Warehouse
Announcing SAP BW/4HANA

SAP BW/4HANA…
• is a new data warehouse solution High Performance Openness
• is highly optimized for SAP HANA
SAP BW/4HANA
• solves analytics problems in seconds that take other
Design Principles
systems days
• accelerates solution development
• means you have one version of the truth
• is ready for the Internet of Things at petabyte scale
Simplicity Modern Interface

The transition from standard SAP BW to SAP BW/4HANA can be compared with the transition of the SAP Business
Suite to SAP S/4HANA. As part of this transition, SAP BW/4HANA will drastically reduce the number of data objects to
Conversion be stored and maintained, similar to the elimination of aggregates in SAP S/4HANA.
