Addendum

SAP System
Performance Challenges in SAP Environment
Inability to Gain Access
and Analyze Data

Complex system to gain access as
single source, never mind multiple
tables or other data sources.

Only way to access data is through
ABAP queries, SAP BW or module
reports which present their own yet
similar issues.
Complex Interface &
Difficult to Use

Lacks an intuitive easy to use
interface to analyze and interact with
the data.
Slow Performance


Responsiveness is lacking in its
performance against large volumes of
data.
Inflexible Analysis
Paths

Inability to explore across the entire
data set across an unlimited number
of dimensions within a tables never
mind across tables or additional data
sources.

Drill paths need to be pre-defined
within the Infocube limited the
exploration of the data.
