Doubtfull neutrality[edit]

"It delivers reporting, analysis and interpretation of business data that is crucial to preserve and enhance the competitive edge of companies" - is this article written by SAP's Propaganda Department? 193.111.166.137 (talk) 09:10, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs to be updated[edit]

SAP BI has evolved and a new in-memory-computing technology called HANA has been introduced as a replacement of the "normal database" i.e. Oracle in SAP BI. If I understand it correctly, HANA is a blackbox database application based on hardware certified by SAP with 32+ cores — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.3.234.5 (talk) 11:28, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User keeps deleting my line[edit]

In addition to SK's comment, I believe that most of the entry for SAP Business Information Warehouse violates the 'no Soap Box' guideline WP:SOAP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOAP) by using many subjective terms to describe the product. It's 'non-objective' style reads like an advertisement, an SAP PR release or a thinly vailed appeal to encourage the use of the product by some out-of-work SAP consultants. Using words like 'rich' and phrases like 'very pervasively employed' when describing software functionality reeks of advertising. ...When I get the time I will correct this entry to bring it into alignment with Wikipedias 'No Soap' code.

A user named S.K. keeps deleting my update to this SAP Business Information Warehouse entry and identifying it as spam. I want to know who this user is and why he/she is doing such things.

Please respond.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigdaddymaj (talk • contribs) 21:12, 13 January 2006

The reason for deleting you entry is that it points to a website, that exclusively sells this research report. To quote:

 A 200+ page practical guide teaching you how to use SAP's Business Warehouse
 
 Available exclusively through Research Summary, our BW User Guide is an essential
 resource for anyone using SAP's Business Warehouse.

To me, this is clearly spam. Look at WP:EL, Section "What should not be linked to": 3. Sites that primarily exist to sell products or services.

When is Data Warehouse not a Data Warehouse[edit]

It is important to note that by definition a data warehouse is a data centric thing and that SAP by its paradigm is an application centric thing. Therefore the fundamental characteristics and applications that are inherent to the functions of a true data warehouse are difficult and somewhat not possible using SAP BW. At it's heart and in essence "under the hood" there is no data structure even closely resembling a data warehouse in SAP. Words and labels are used to promote a concept that technically is not present. When making the determination of what is or is not a data warehouse it is vital to see a physical relational data structure that is elegant in being a non-volatile, time-variant, subject-orient, aggregated, and summarized database. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.241.254.68 (talk) 20:55, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
