"Data Warehousing SAP Style                                               - An Experience Report"

 
Denise DuPont, Business Warehouse Team Manager, CSC
Rudy Julian, Senior Business Warehouse Architect, Mass Mutual
Michael Eidmann, Technical Consulting Manager, SAP America
Luis Orama, SAP Business Warehouse Platinum Consultant, SAP

This meeting was something different for COOUG.  We decided to provide some insight into the popular software called SAP.  What is it?  How is it used by area corporations?  What do the pioneers say, now that the pioneering is over?

Check out the SAP Powerpoint Presentation  (6 megabytes!)

Business Warehouse is the core information hub of all modules in the broadly accepted SAP.

The presentation started with an introduction of SAP concepts and a brief overview of SAP's "MySAP" Business Intelligence solution by Michael Eidmann and Luis Orama of SAP.
