Central criteria on the path to self-service BI.
Harald Huber, Head of Accounting and Controlling at Media Markt Management AG, Switzerland, was faced with the challenge of analyzing data from the newly opened online store in 2011: „Within the Group, we use a centralized management information system based on SAP BW. Our online store, however, is managed decentrally in Switzerland. I had no way of integrating the online store data into the MIS. To depict local analysis requirements and for planning, we had previously used a multidimensional database into which we transferred data from SAP BW. However, this solution was technologically outdated and unsuitable, particularly considering the large amount of data expected from the online store.
SAP was also ruled out, as although its performance would have been suitable, SAP is too complex for us to use. We therefore opted for the local use of business intelligence software.“
The following criteria were particularly important to Huber: the openness of the system so that future requirements could be easily implemented, clear standards for report creation, ease of use, automation even of complex reporting requirements during creation and distribution, and a short implementation phase. He also valued a modern report design with clear signals.
