Roadmap to Hasso's Sapphire dream

Let’s take Hasso's dream and draw an actionable map to make that a reality. we cannot simply go full steam ahead as we must also review the past and define our CLEAR methodology

CLEAR is a message Hasso and Leo communicated to all 10,000 participants on site and 18,000 online Sapphire Attendees. Global SAP is about CLEAR and Business Intelligence.

CLEAR will eliminate inefficiencies so let us start with cleaning the house for BVA (Business Value Attainment). These are applicable for New and existing customers. i.e. even if you are 8 years old with BW and do not have standards and processes clearly defined then we need to do that immediately.

BW Audit 1: Check BI Strategy alignment to Business Needs
BW Audit 2: Audit Business participation, Standards, Processes, Org Structures and Governance against BVA
BW Audit 3: Check Architecture for Best Practice against BVA
BW Audit 3: check DSO and InfoCube design and automate modeling for the dream to come true
BW Audit 4: Optimize InfoCube modeling: Read paper ‘Positioning InfoCube for SAP BI’ for details. Use automation as your only option for self service excellence

BWA Audit 6: List navigation Attributes, Restricted Key Figures, Calculated Key figures for BWA
