BI Content 

BI Content is delivered as an add-on to SAP BI. The naming is SAP NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 2. This will be referred to as Business Content below.

Purpose

Business Content is a pre-configured set of role and task-related information models that are based on consistent metadata in SAP Business Intelligence. Business Content provides selected roles within a company with the information they need to carry out their tasks.

This information model includes integral roles, workbooks, queries, InfoSources, InfoCubes, ODS objects, key figures, characteristics, update rules, and extractors for SAP applications.

Business Content can:

·         Be used in particular industries without being modified

·         Serve as a template or an example for customer-defined Business Content.

In addition, Demo Content, which includes example data and can be used as display material, is available with SAP Business Intelligence.
