Lightweight Consumption

With the emergence of smartphones and multi-touch tablet PCs, companies and consumers have come to recognize the advantages of applications which focus on the user and allow users to access all the data that they need.

These user-oriented applications require analytic information in order to better understand business contexts, to increase process efficiency and to simplify decision making. It is therefore important to use Web services to make analytic data and SAP Business Warehouse functions available as consumption models.

The integration of SAP Business Warehouse into SAP Gateway means that analytic queries can be provided as BW OData Queries or Easy Queries for mobile scenarios.

Integration offers the following benefits:

• Existing analysis content can be taken over from a consumption scenario based on Open Data Protocol (OData), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) or Remote Function Call (RFC).

• This enables simplified display of analytic data records.
