Analysis MS Office without SAP BW

[Former Member]

Hello,
 
I'm searching informations about SAP BusinessObject Analysis Edition for Microsoft Office.
I don't use SAP BW. So then, I'm analysing the interest to install this product without SAP BW.
What kind of data sources can be configured into SAP BusinessObject Analysis Edition for Microsoft Office ?
What can I do with SAP BusinessObject Analysis Edition for Microsoft Office without SAP BW ?
 
Thanks in advance for your many answers.

Hi Carole,

I think you should rather go for SAP LUMIRA (VISUAL INTELLIGENCE). This tool can be used without BW, e.g. you can analyze a simple CSV.

However, Lumira is able to connect to BW, HANA, SQL-Servers, SalesForce, files, universes and more.

You need BO licenses to use it.

BR, Rainer

Hi Carole - the only other data sources Analysis Office uses is HANA and SAP ERP/ECC (if you are on enhancement package 5 or higher).  See
