Question:
Hello guys and Gurus,
i want to ask u, can any other BI-Product ( such as Cognos, MicroStrategy, Business Object etc ) link or integrated with SAP-BW ? and is it compatible for data warehouse ( SAP-BW ) to access with other product or it can access with SAP Business Intelligence only ?
i need your suggestion and help ?
with best regards,
BI-Guest
Answer:
There are already some threads around the same (while rather old, now);
I personally used Business Objects via universes created directly on the oracle tables,
each query can be "open" to a third party so that you can avoid the creation of universes, but the performance seems to be poor,
I know somebody using Cognos on top of bw,
but I don't know about other products

Answer:
You mention Microstrategy. I don't know about other products, but Microstrategy itself doesn't interface with SAP or BW. It would be used in place of BW as a reporting tool. (You would have to pull data out of whatever you system is and place it in Microstrategy.)
So if you were going that route, you would most likely skip BW and use Microstrategy and then another product (such as Solonde) for the ETL into it.
