Hour 12. SAP BI, KW, and MDM

I touched on SAP Business Intelligence, Knowledge Warehouse, and Master Data Management briefly in Hour 10, “SAP NetWeaver,” and elsewhere. This hour explores these three NetWeaver components—which enable what SAP AG calls “Information Integration”—more completely and from a number of perspectives. I highlight how each product fits into the grand scheme of all things NetWeaver, and the role or purpose of each, as well as discuss important subcomponents, legacy considerations, and real-world business benefits.

Highlights of this hour include

  • Discover the business reasons for deploying MDM

  • Uncover legacy considerations for MDM

  • Discuss the IT challenges of implementing BI

  • Share business benefits of deploying SAP KW
