Get Started With BW Modernization Assessment
The Analytics Assessment is a strategic step towards optimizing your BW landscape and positioning your organization for future success with modern technologies like BW Bridge, Datasphere, and hyperscalers. At Applexus, our assessment process begins with thorough pre-work and analysis, engaging your Enterprise Architect, Basis, and Analytics teams to evaluate the current state of your analytics environment.
Through detailed discovery discussions with IT management and the analytics team, we uncover valuable insights into your data models, source systems, security structures, and customizations. This comprehensive assessment provides actionable recommendations, a tailored transition roadmap, and a clear strategy for migrating to a future-proof architecture that meets your business needs and enhances reporting and analytics capabilities.
