Die Abhängigkeiten von Tabellen, Objekten und Berichten erkennen - mit DBOXS impact.

Wer SAP BusinessObjects (BO) als Reporting System im Einsatz hat, wird mit der Frage konfrontiert, welche Berichte bei einer Änderung des darunterliegenden DWHs oder eines BO Universums betroffen sind.
BO stellt kein Tool zur Beantwortung dieser Frage bereit. Der vorliegenden Artikel erklärt, wie DBOXS impact diese Lücke für DeskI Berichte schliesst.

An Hand von konkreten Anwendungsbeispielen zeigen wir, wie DBOXS impact zu einer besseren Übersicht über die Abhängigkeiten innerhalb des Reporting Systems führt.

Diese Transparenz senkt den Entwicklungs- und Unterhaltsauf-wand beträchtlich. Darüber hinaus erstellt DBOXS impact eine detaillierte Dokumentation, die z.B. beim Umstieg von DeskI auf WebI von grossem Nutzen ist.

Saubere Kundenansprache

Sie haben es sicher auch schon erlebt: ein Verkäufer spricht Sie auf ein Produkt an, das Sie bereits haben. Das Resultat: ein verärgerter Kunde. Bei schlechter Datenqualität bleiben die CRM-Aktivitäten eines Unternehmens erfolglos. Ein systematischer Prozess hilft, Fehler zu ermitteln und die Datenbasis gezielt zu verbessern. So erhalten auch die "richtigen" Empfänger die "korrekte" Botschaft.
