TCS SAP BW Performance

Optimization Solution

Enterprise Solutions

Rapid growth in the volume of data from different sources has prompted organizations to deploy SAP BW to enable
informed decision making. Over time, however, SAP BW installations deliver suboptimal performance, because of
design inconsistencies or variance in functional usage that havent been addressed through regular system
housekeeping. With rapid database growth resulting in higher data loading time, slower report generation, and
negatively impacting high priority business processes, organizations are compelled to improve the performance of
their SAP BW implementation.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) offers the SAP BW Performance Optimization solution that automates the
identification of performance bottleneck causes. The solution comprises a software tool and template based
evaluation process that identifies the factors that affect the performance of the Decision Support System (DSS)
running on your SAP BW. By recommending resolutions for each performance bottleneck, our solution enables you to
maximize the efficiency, effectiveness and value delivered by your SAP BW based DSS.
