Well Managed BI

See how APOS Publisher for Cloud can help you streamline your messaging to stakeholders through tailored content distribution.

We examine the need for change management in your SAP BusinessObjects system, and how APOS Insight can simplify and automate change management.

Many organizations use multiple BI and analytics platforms. Watch this video to see how APOS Live Data Gateway uses OData, JDBC and ODBC to unify analytics data access not just for SAP Analytics Cloud, but also for other analytics platforms such as Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik.

After you have completed the rationalization process, and have made sense of what you have, the next step in right-sizing your SAP BusinessObjects deployment is to reduce the objects within the system in accordance with your rationalization findings. Most such objects will be content and users.

The APOS BI on BI report is a service provided by APOS at no charge for organizations that want to begin the process of forming a more in-depth understanding of their SAP BusinessObjects deployment.

Rationalizing your SAP BusinessObjects deployment is the first step in right-sizing that deployment to prepare for your next BI & Analytics steps. Rationalizing is the process of determining what is necessary and what is not necessary within your SAP BusinessObjects deployment.

APOS Publisher for Cloud enables personalization at both the group and user level, meaning that groups can receive information that addresses the entire groups needs, while users can receive information specific to their job function.

Right-sizing your SAP BusinessObjects deployment can be greatly simplified with the right tools such as APOS Insight, APOS Administrator, and APOS Storage Center.

Delta Dental of New Jersey has over 500 SAP BusinessObjects reports that need to be generated and delivered into file system locations on a monthly basis. Some reports need to be consolidated into a single PDF file format and delivered on an ad-hoc basis to clients and brokers.

In a recent webinar, we discussed right-sizing SAP BusinessObjects for your next steps, whatever those steps may be. In that webinar we named four areas to focus on: content, users, licenses, and infrastructure.

The Snowflake Data Cloud presents power and scalability, and APOS Live Data Gateway presents the live data connectivity and unified semantic layer organizations need to use large data sets from Snowflake in your BI and analytics solutions.

The change from UNV to UNX has been described as revolutionary rather than evolutionary. The approach to the semantic layer is very different. Converting to UNX benefits your universe designers, who will not have to work with multiple tools to maintain existing universes and develop new, multi-source universes.

Here we will focus on the second step, reducing your SAP BusinessObjects footprint by finding and removing unnecessary elements from your system. The process of reducing can be greatly simplified using two APOS solutions: APOS Insight and APOS Storage Center.

Part of Intrum AB, Lindorff is Europe's market-leading debt collection agency, with a range of credit management and financial services.

They wanted to provide greater usability to their customers, while simplifying their scheduling and bursting processes.

Right-sizing requires a strategic approach: you need to consider how you can leverage your BI system for faster time to value with your Cloud deployment.

APOS Live Data Gateway simplifies connection to Teradata, and provides a unified semantic layer to allow you to communicate your insights quickly in your stories and reports.
