Comparing SAP BI with Hyperion

With this topic, I would like to listening from you or sharing information regarding comparations between SAP

Netweaver BI / SEM and Hyperion 9.
For instance,

1- a customer who has SAP BI (SEM not used) and wants to

implement a scorecard tool, what woulb be the best option ? What should be the main requirements to support the

decision.

2- Some companies are demaning ever and ever flexible tools for ad hoc reports. According business users,

until 2005 SAP BW was not an alternative to Hyperion. Is it now ?

PowerSim and SEM BPS Intergration

The Integration between Powersim and SEM BPS is a very interesting one. Not many clients

use it. But those who do, find the body of information hard to come by. Here is a little primer that maybe used for help in

configuring the integration.

There are five broad steps for the configuration and to get the integration

going:

1. Variable Selection in PowerSim
2. Creation of the Planning Hierarchy (Area/Level/Package) within SEM BPS

SAP SEM and Powersim - WAITED FOR AN ANSWER

Hi all,

Does anybody have an experienced

work SEM-BPS in conjunction with Powersim.

How does it work? I there a technical prerequisite(unicode SAP system for

example) or customizing, that will be done?

Thanks all.

Best regards.

BHP Billiton and Simulation Screen Shots

BHP Billiton is the world's largest diversified resources company. BHP developed a Strategic Value Chain management

simulation to allow the organization to input market information and demand, and cascade this demand down the value chain to

identify how and where resources needed to be drawn from, and to what extent the organization was required to restructure its

distribution. At the same time, the simulation allows management to explore with various strategic policies, like adding a

new mine, adding a new alloy plant, adding and/or changing the distribution lines, etc. The results of the simulation have

been very good, and it is today used across the organization within all the main segments of the value chain, as well as for

a top-level management view on the entire value chain.

Cost to Complexity and Single ERP systems

I have seen many

clients keep pondering on the question of SAP products for Performance Management vs Hyperion.. and wasting time! Here is a

very useful

target="_blank">research insight from the Best Practices Gurus at Hackett Group

! There is a cost to

complexity - the sooner the executives who are taking such decisions realize the better it will be for

everyone!

Activation of a new SEM BCS instance

When a

brand new BCS implementation is started, there are a lot of kinks. These steps below from the OSS Note # 753688 are very

detailed in what needs to be done in that case.

The procedure with the activation differentiates between

an SEM new installation and an upgrade in item 2b (Copying of the example from client 000).
1. The SEM installation is a

new installation
The delivery client 000 is copied into a new customer client xxx by client copy. With that

the content is available in client xxx, however, not active yet. The client is still empty concerning SEM Customizing.

Why SEM BPS?

size=2>Here is a piece that I got from a vendor site.. which I found very useful for folks who have to sell SEM BPS in front

of the client CFO's and CIOs! 

Do you currently have a budgeting process that takes

six months to run, usually drifts into the next financial year, and seems disconnected from the strategic targets of your

company? Do you have a forecasting process that involves an inordinate amount of time arguing about the accuracy of the

underlying numbers, rather than discussing the business issues that the forecast should be addressing? Do you have

difficulty aligning your sales plan with your planned P&L, cashflow and balance sheet figures? Do you want bottom-up

and top-down to meet happily in the middle? Are you considering implementing a “Beyond Budgeting” approach? Do

you like the flexibility of MS Excel, but hate managing and merging local files in different versions, with no audit

trail? If so, you’re not alone!

SAP have a suite of products that address

all of these issues, and chief among them is BPS.
