Connect Vision has a completely integrated, holistic approach to implementing BW in the organization, leveraging existing investment in data warehousing and adding Best Practice scenarios to protect investments in mySAP.

We focus on the following areas :

Scoping and Blueprinting

All our consultants have extensive business and industry experience that is utilized in these areas and accelerates implementation times. Using Best Practice scenarios from industry specific content, as well as ASAP methodologies, scoping and blueprinting becomes an interactive experience between client and consultant to create the best scenarios possible.

Reporting

Leveraging current reporting structures within the organization, Connect Vision is at the forefront of web, BW and reporting tool technology. There are several factors influencing the choice of reporting tool :

Real-time(ad-hoc) vs. non-real-time(overnight) reporting.

Operational vs. Analytical reporting.

In-house vs. external reporting.

Web vs. more analytical reporting with manipulation of data.

Al these factors contribute to a choice of reporting tool. The choice of reporting tools from the front end perspective however, stays a difficult choice, but Connect Vision is there to guide the client according to their needs, leveraging several years of Business Intelligence experience to help the client to make the right decision.

Business Processes

Before a proper blueprint and scope can be delivered, a better understanding of current, existing and future business processes needs to be addressed. This is a step in data warehousing design that is many times omitted to the loss of the client.

Without a better understanding of the business processes, there can be no proper reporting from the data warehouse. Many years of experience have shown that an understanding of business processes accelerates implementation cycles and leads to quality reporting, far beyond an approach that would leverage for example vanilla business content.

Extraction, Transformation and Loading

The area of extraction are probably the most important part of the process, because if data is not extracted properly, it cannot be transformed and loaded properly. This is where the average data warehousing project is either successful or a failure. Leveraging several technologies to create the end product, Connect Vision is at the forefront of extracting data from any source system of choice i.e. legacy, database, flat files etc.

Best Practices

Industry best practices are the benchmarks by which any implementation of this nature is measured. The availability of these best practice scenarios has in the past been only to a select few. However the incorporation of these bet practice scenarios requires technical skill and business competence. Connect Vision is there to assist the client in accomplishing these goals.

Business Content

Business Content uses industry specific best practices in terms of business data. It accelerates implementation cycles considerably, because all info cubes, objects and extractors have already been created.

One of the Key Drivers for BW is the extraction of critical Business Data from the current R/3 ERP Solution our consultants have an in-depth experience of extracting information from the following R/3 "business repositories"

1. Logistics
2. HR
3. Procurement(MM and SCM)
4. CRM
5. FI/CO

Due to Demand by our Clients we have extended our services to include Crystal Reporting from both R/3 & BW - To find out more click-on Crystal Reporting
