Enterprise Data Warehousing 

This documentation provides you with a starting point for administration and optimal maintenance of the Enterprise Data Warehousing IT scenario. It contains business-intelligence-specific information for various tasks, lists the relevant tools and functions, and provides links to the more detailed documentation that you need to carry out the tasks.

The Enterprise Data Warehousing IT scenario supports you in setting up and managing a data warehouse in a company-wide environment. It allows you to integrate, transform, consolidate, clean up, store, and stage data of any origin (SAP and non-SAP sources), or age (historic and up-to-date), to be analyzed and interpreted. It provides flexible structures and layers so that you can react quickly to business developments. It also allows businesses to report in real time and improve the design time and runtime of BI models and processes.
