Webinar overview

Many companies have made big investments to standardize business processes and enable operational and management reporting content. They achieve this by using a combination of SAP R3 and SAP BW. Even then, a significant number of SAP users continue to demand additional business value from these investments. They try to unlock data through accurate business insights.
