SAP Achieves Unity
April 2, 2011
“SAP unifies compliance and BI tools” announces Silicon.com.:
“The release, announced on Wednesday 23 March, integrates elements of its business-intelligence toolkit with the newest version of its governance, risk and compliance (GRC) tools into a single platform that can plug into other business intelligence software, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications.”
Apparently, SAP has been working toward this consolidation for three years. It standardizes the look and feel across tools, embeds reports and dashboards, and includes a risk- indicator graphic. Increased ease of use is also a goal.
Can SAP unify without increasing complexity? Jury is still out.
