SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is being used and suggested for customers that have implementation needs. When it is used at the management level and in departmental headquarters it strengthens the process structure and presentation of results. The information is designed and presented clearly and accurately and favors the decision making and evaluation processes. It is especially productive.

We only use SAP BusinessObjects Lumira sporadically when we need to create visualisations to go along with reports or when needed for presentations. It is a very useful program to use in addition to regular reports.

SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is mostly used by the departments who put together reports for management but it is not used all the time by every department. The departments that I have experience using Lumira with are logistics, customer service, and procurement.

In our organization we use SAP Business Objects Lumira alongside our reporting software to create visualisations as needed. We use it when we want to highlight in presentations (usually to management) and need a more specific visual aid than can be created easily with our reporting and analytics software.

I consulted for a company that was having serious network troubles which were directly impacting their production process. I was asked to come in and aid their team in identifying the root cause and then to put a plan in place to rectify the problem. When I arrived on site, they had virtually no visibility into what was going on in their network. After working with their team to compile enough data to identify the problem, Lumira allowed us to easily illustrate the problems to their management without losing them in confusing network speak. It allowed me to convey a very complex and confusing problem in a way that could be digested by people outside my field.

SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is new to our organisation. We have many other tools already, and we are considering whether we can use this for better visualisation in our ERP environment. The business problem we face is that the default SAP BW graphs and reports are too bland, too basic and do not satisfy the user requirements.

It is being used by myself along with CMO. I'm involved in business development activities apart from my Engineering based commitments.
We use it for visualization and analysis of our company's business, there by helping in decision making.
As we primarily work on Machine learning and data analytics application, it helps in that regard as well.

Since I am involved with academia at a large research university, SAP Lumira turned out to be an excellent platform for providing visual insights to generic Excel data. In fact, we are encouraging our students to utilize this software for extracting relevant information from large sets of data.

When I used it, it was only being used by a department, and I was only a user for a brief period of time. We used it mainly as a tracking and analytics tool. After gathering data using Lumira, we then built a strategy around the data we collected from it. This tool helped us build charts and graphs based off of the data we collected in real time. This tool was useful in helping us spot trends and back up our ideas for how to move forward or allowed us to quickly change our strategy if needed.

SAP Lumira was was used across the whole organization. The business problem that it addressed was the gap that still exists between the European and U.S sectors of the company. In addition, it helped us understand our type of industry in both parts of the world. For example, any major differences, such as something that works well in one geography, that we can implement in the other if needed. It helped us to figure out what works best for a particular geographical area.

From a user perspective, it is a very easy tool to use. You can easily interact with charts. The look and feel is awesome when compared to earlier BO products. I used this tool for customer POCs. When the user wants to see the live data it is really helpful. Customers who use live data (airport information, call centers), can easily use this.

This is used by many of our C users as well as senior level and mid senior level managers to view reports in both visual formats as well as tabular reports. We are able to create cool visual reports for a lot of monthly, quarterly and yearly sales and revenue and forecast analysis.

Working with Toyota, and all departments are using the tool. This was introduced by me in the org and people started preferring it over QlikView, but since the tool is restricted to 64 bit OS for developers, a few key users find this to be a hurdle, as they are still on 32 bit because some other tools in the organization don't work well on 64 bit OD.

The tool is widely used to addresses national sales compared to the market study, and the overall service division comparison for the timely servicing and parts sold.

I had tried a trial version of SAP Lumira for learning purpose and I found it awesome. I would recommend other IT professionals to try the application at least once and many would end up implementing it for an effective data visualization and report creation.
