  • Easy, user friendly set of tools specially WebI.
  • Different set of applications to support different reporting needs such as WebI, Crystal etc.
  • SAP BI platform can connect to several different data sources.
  • Try to combine Crystal reports for Enterprise and Crystal Reports 2013.

  • Some user friendly dash boarding tool can be introduced.
SAP Business Objects BI Platform is well suited for self service and adhoc reporting.
