BW Performance Tuning

Use Of Scenario : It is very important scenario.With a performance review or performance tuning project we may be able to avoid unnecessary investments in additional hardware through state of the art BW system design, server and database tuning.




Description:



Fast and reliable access to your information is one of the key success factors for any Business Intelligence or Data Warehousing application. Unfortunately performance tuning is one of those aspects that is often overlooked during implementations.



With a performance review or performance tuning project you may be able to avoid unnecessary investments in additional hardware through state of the art BW system design, server and database tuning. We see that most vendors and customers solve their performance issues by extending their hardware capabilities. element61 believes that an integrated architecture and a well performing data model are at least as important to create the expected performance and to decrease the cost.



We have a very experienced team on this topic and we are specialized in:



•State of the art SAP BW applications architecture. Our methodology has incorporated generally accepted best practices from data warehousing and Business Intelligence into a framework that is SAP BW specific.



•The dimensional model of InfoCubes is the most underestimated key factor that influences the performance of reporting and data loading. element61 has developed the Dimensional Modeling Optimizer, a SAP BSP application for BW that significantly reduces the development time of the optimal dimensional model of InfoCubes and that turns the art of data modeling into a science.



•Performance tuning of SAP BW systems is one of our specialties. It requires a specific mix of competencies in areas like database tuning, SAP BW system configuration and application architecture.



Increased end-user satisfaction, a better acceptance of your BW application, lower hardware and maintenance costs are just a few benefits worth mentioning. A well performing Business Warehouse application will enable executives and managers to make sound business decisions on time.



Performance Management:

element61 are firm believers and early adopters of hosted Business Intelligence & Performance Management solutions. We believe that in current BI & CPM initiatives too much effort, time and money is lost in setting up (and maintaining) the environments, while focus of management should be on data definition, data modeling, user requirements, data quality and analysis of information. Software-as-a-Service will also dramatically change the face of the BI & CPM industry.



Hosted Business Intelligence & Performance Management solutions take away the hurdle of :

•Selecting the right hardware

•Investing in the right hardware

•Selecting & investing in the right Operating System

•Selecting & investing in the right Database Management System (RDBMS)

•Installation of OS & RDBMS software

•Installation of the BI or CPM software

•Configuration of the BI or CPM software

•Integration with OS & RDBMS

•Security setup and maintenance

•Performance monitoring & tuning

•Support for keeping the systems "running"

•Patching of software

•Upgrading & migration of software & content

We proactively invest in pioneering in this area, regardless of the BI & CPM technologies you want to use. These can be the leading Performance Management suites or pure-play hosted BI & CPM solutions ( like Birst , Pivotlink, ... ). Also hardware, operating system and RDBMS can be hosted by your organisation and managed by us, hosted by a dedicated hosting company, or based on components "in the cloud".



element61 uses its vast experience to innovate in ways to more quickly deliver on the promise of Performance Management..
