ARIS BI Modeler

Transparency for SAP BI Landscapes

ARIS BI Modeler automatically redocuments existing SAP BI landscapes by way of an integrated interface. The data structures and data flows are visualized using special ARIS model types and icons. The resulting views of SAP BI systems are fully integrated into the central ARIS repository.
 

ARIS BI Modeler provides IT staff, BI experts, and departmental employees with a powerful tool for handling redocumentation, design, and modeling tasks as part of projects to introduce, harmonize, or consolidate BI. Using ARIS BI Modeler, different SAP BIs can be compared with each other, enabling necessary harmonization work to be identified and carried out in a timely fashion based on business requirements. ARIS BI Modeler is the basis for integration into the ARIS business process view, making it an important part of a roadmap for implementing integrated business process management with SAP.

Your benefits:

  • Lower costs for operating an SAP BI landscape
  • Reduced complexity and duration of BI consolidation projects due to system comparisons
  • Interface between ARIS BI Modeler and SAP BI ensures automatic transfer of SAP BI meta data
  • Integration with ARIS for SAP NetWeaver
  • Automatic generation of the data concept behind the existing SAP BI implementations
  • Planning and design of an enterprise-wide data warehouse

Interface between ARIS BI Modeler and SAP BI for automatic transfer of SAP BI meta data

Unidirectional interface from SAP BI to ARIS BI Modeler for transferring BI meta data into the central ARIS repository. Redocumenting the BI structures automatically creates the data concept behind the associated SAP BI landscape.

Linking SAP BI data flows and business processes plus integration into ARIS for SAP NetWeaver

All SAP BI objects are available for use in the central ARIS meta repository. This makes it possible to identify, analyze, and design the necessary data, information, and reports based on the roles and responsibilities of the employees and on business processes.

The models generated from the SAP BI enable both an aggregated strategic overview of the BI landscapes and a detailed analysis of the data structures and data flows. All the existing SAP BI implementation detail is therefore documented in a central repository and available for reference at any time.
