APOS is hosting
another SAP update webinar on Thursday, February 16, at 11 am EST. This time,
it will be SAP's
Pierpaolo Vezzosi updating us on developments in the BI 4.2 semantic layer.
The semantic layer has
always been one of the features that sets SAP BusinessObjects apart within the
increasingly crowded BI space. Universes greatly simplify access to data by
providing consistent, business-logic-friendly naming conventions across the
enterprise data landscape.
The centrality of the
semantic layer meant that it needed to be tweaked regularly to keep up with new
BI requirements and technological developments, but there is only so much
tweaking that a technology can take before it begins to become unwieldy. By the
time SAP began to design BI 4, the semantic layer was perceived by some to be
approaching those limits, and SAP undertook the task of redesigning the
semantic layer from the ground up.
The new semantic layer
was designed to support a clear vision of the future of SAP BusinessObjects,
and new developments continue to build toward that vision. In our upcoming
webinar, Pierpaolo will discuss progress toward that vision, and the road ahead.
Join us to catch a glimpse
of the future.
