Figure 1 shows that anything in the future is subject to change
Figure 2: Source: SAP
Figure 2 is a familiar slide, now titled “Simplify landscape” showing the converging, rationalizing tools
SAP said they want “Platforms simpler for on-premise install, maintain, configure and move to the cloud”
What is different in Figure 2 is that Design Studio shows up in Data Discovery and Analysis
Figure 3: Source: SAP
Figure 3 shows planned innovations for Design Studio; the comment on this slide is SAP is “switching to mobile UI5 framework”
Figure 4: Source: SAP
Figure 4 shows planned innovations for SAP Lumira with agility with a business user focus
Trust is for IT and includes more deep auditing of Lumira
Big data plans mean that HANA is not meant to be a repository for big data
Differentiation – Data Access and Data Merging
Wikipedia has become new source of the truth and takes advantage of “wisdom of crowds”
Figure 5: Source: SAP
Design Studio with new templates lets you connect to curated datasources managed by IT and allows decision makers/analysts to report off that information
Lumira allows you to connect to core data directly; more freedom and users connect to their own data sources (see Figure 5)
Differentiation: Content Creation
Lumira is relational data discovery engine
Design Studio is multidimensional engine with the ability to connect to BW and HANA
Differentiation – Data Discovery for BW – Acquisition vs Online
Figure 6: Source: SAP
In the future, use Design Studio templates to access BW Online for data discovery
Figure 7: Source: SAP
Figure 7 shows planned Lumira data acquisition mode to acquire from BW and bring to Lumira
It will provide the ability to combine with a non-BW environment
It is expected to release next month – 1.27

Figure 8 shows previews of the planned download from BW for SAP Lumira

Figure 9 shows that the plan for Design Studio templates is to do Data Discovery online, in browser, via pre-created template
It will have just Visualize and Compose room
The .ini file option in Lumira 1.17 was a Design Studio app running within Lumira

The Design Studio templates will have full OLAP capability

With the online templates in Design Studio 1.5 you can save stories
