Analysis OLAP converges to Design Studio
Major investments in Design Studio but not in Dashboards, BEx Web or Analysis OLAP
Figure 3: Source: SAP
Most customers are using Design Studio with BI Platform
New investments for NetWeaver and HANA deployments are not planned
If starting with Design Studio projects start with BI Platform
Figure 4: Source: SAP
Planned GA end of November, early December
Four features in Figure 4 – end user analysis
Enhanced geomaps, able to add pie chart to geomaps, or add custom markers, images, graphics
Scorecard is formatted table that can cover all formatting requirements. A butterfly table has a dimension in middle, key figure on right and left side
Standard crosstab is dimensions on the left
Spreadsheet is alternative to crosstab; more Excel like, look and feel
Timer can be used as a refresh for near real time scenarios
Tree is a new component – display hierarchical structures; the tree component to display bookmark folders on BI Platform
CSV file as datasource – in local mode, to help designers and developers create applications
Increased limit of universe connections to 20K rows, multi-source universes, right to left support
Note - the slides below were covered in a demo, but it is hard to capture those in screen shots.

Analytical application is out of the box, generic analysis (ready to run application) – you can choose BW query or HANA view as a data source
Spreadsheet, hide show – what you can do with crosstab you can do with the spreadsheet component; also can use the planning scenario

CSV file for rapid prototyping can be used in Local Mode only
