Companies have spent millions automating their business processes, but lack the capabilities to fully leverage their wealth of data contained in SAP.

ABAP queries, SAP BW and module reports are difficult to use. The OLAP based Business Intelligence (BI) is complex and predicated on an all SAP cube structure.

QlikView in-memory analysis, with the specially designed QlikView Connector powered by SAP NetWeaver, enables SAP users to perform quick, flexible, visual, ad hoc analysis and reporting, that can also include combining data from external non-SAP sources. By using QlikView, companies complement their centralized SAP reporting capabilities with instant user-driven visibility into the business processes, allowing SAP-based decision making at the speed of business.

QlikView and Data Technology bring together everything your business needs to develop, deploy, analyze and collaborate for better decisions and faster action - all in one solution. We deliver power and simplicity, without the cost and complexity of traditional BI applications.

Develop powerful analyses, reports and dashboards -seamlessly integrating all available data from any system with drill-down access in a few clicks.

Deploy and update applications to tens or thousands of users from desktop to laptop to browser to mobile with anywhere accessibility and reliable security.

Analyze data at the speed of thought. QlikView works the way your mind works so you can explore information intuitively - not hierarchically. The results spark the insights you need to act, allowing you to investigate down to the lowest detail for instant answers.

Collaborate through shared applications and shared findings. Integrate QlikView directly with your other desktop applications for unparalleled productivity.

SAP Performance Challenges

The inability to easily access and analyze data captured in SAP is well known. ABAP queries, SAP BW or module reports all present their own issues. It is difficult to interact with the system across its entire data set or even across multiple dimensions within tables. Reporting and analysis across tables or integrating data from other systems is extremely challenging. Built for centralized reporting, SAP and third party tools lack flexibility for new reporting demands, especially when there is a requirement to include data from other sources, and the large data volumes involved can cripple performance. As a result, end users lack visibility into business processes and cannot find the critical insights hidden in SAP that help them make fast, informed, business decisions.

Business Benefits of QlikView for SAP

Flexible: QlikView combines data from SAP R/3, mySAP, SAP BW, BEX queries and data from non-SAP systems within a click.

Fast: Deploy individual analyses and reporting solutions in days by using the QlikView SAP ScriptBuilder to locate the data you want via the SAP Data Dictionary.

Easy-to-use: for both IT and the end users. Most QlikView users start working productively after less than 1 hour of training.

No Data Warehouse required: QlikView combines data from SAP and other sources in memory, with or without an existing data warehouse, for simple and fast reporting, development and update.

Pre-packaged analysis templates: QlikView offers templates for financial controlling (based on the SAP FI module) containing General Ledger data as well as for the sales and distribution applications to give you a kick start to rapid SAP analysis.

Certified interface: Powered by SAP NetWeaver, the QlikView Connector gives customers added assurance of the ease with which they can visualize critical information from SAP solutions to use QlikView reporting for fast analysis and decision making.

Reuse BEx queries: The QlikView BW OLAP Connector enables the reuse with QlikView of existing business logic and prior investment in BEx queries, as well as Delta loading into QlikView from SAP BW to accelerate these BEx queries.

Partner and Supplier Collaboration

By simplifying the integration and analysis of data from internal and external databases, QlikView enables companies to collaborate closer and share information with their business partners. Decision makers are empowered with near real-time visibility into demand planning and execution. Benefits begin with more accurate forecasting of demand volume and procurement of raw materials dynamically aligned with sales forecasts and product inventory, in sales channels, at customer sites (spare parts inventory), in warehouses, and in transit. Selected information sharing can easily be extended to include contract manufacturers and third-party logistics companies as well.

End-to-End Business Agility

The intelligent supply and demand analytics in QlikView provide an end-to-end agility that enables all stakeholders to respond quickly to shifts in market demand and the opportunities to exploit trends. QlikViews more flexible in-memory analysis also improves the capabilities of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to optimize inventory levels, manage product flow, and track supplier performance.

Companies substantially increase their ability to cost-effectively deliver more marketable products and value-added services when customer demands are highest. Fast time to value can be measured by being first to market with "customer-driven" products and value add-ons, generating improved brand differentiation and stronger collaborative relationships with channel partners working with the same information. The lack of connections between the separate data-driven processes across a supply chain impair business agility and increase operational costs. QlikView's flexible data-sharing architecture optimizes the data as it is loaded from disparate sourcing databases and quickly exposes redundancies and errors for easy remediation.

Using QlikView, everyone works with the same information across supply chain processes and dependent business functions. This, in turn, helps to eliminate confusion in item management to improve inventory levels, replenishment execution and response to demand changes and to reduce operational costs.
