Migration from SAP BO to MS Power BI

Powerful data-discovery on the Cloud

Migration from SAP BO to MS Power BI

With more data coming into the business landscape, comes the need for the right business intelligence tool to help organizations analyze that data. Many organizations currently using Enterprise BI platforms such SAP BO are looking at moving away from these monolithic BI platforms to self-service, cloud BI platforms as their current versions are expensive and limited DIY reporting tools.

Although enterprise BI platforms, such as SAP BO, excel at governance, security capabilities and standardized KPI definitions, the huge maintenance cost due to high involvement of large team of IT developers needed to manage and maintain them and expensive licensing are few of the reasons that organizations are looking at migrating to modern analytics platforms, such as MS Power BI.

Datamatics offers solutions for migration from existing SAP BO and other BI environments to MS Power BI. Datamatics' MS Power BI solution enables businesses to connect to disparate data sources and unify the data to create interactive and immersive reports and dashboards. It enables businesses to drive results through actionable insights. Datamatics uses process accelerators at each stage of the migration that reduce timelines, optimize processes, improve efficiency, and enables cost savings. Datamatics thereby enables businesses to reuse existing BI elements, dashboards, and reports, such that they can build synergies and utilize the best of both the worlds.  

Key Drivers for SAP BO to Power BI Platform Migration

Migration from SAP BO to MS Power BI

  • As SAP BO 4.1 has already reached EOL and 4.2 is about to sunset by Dec 2022, customers are actively seeking technology vendors and system integrators for migrating their SAP BO 4.1/4.2 reports and dashboards to a new BI environment.
  • Expensive licensing, high maintenance, and support cost of SAP BO
  • Limited self-service and visualization capabilities
  • New IT spending is moving to the cloud, which includes in-built analytics spending as well 

MS Power BI seems to be the choice for most businesses, who have technology investments in Microsoft suites, due to better synergies with O365 and other Microsoft products. It offers enterprise-grade self-service analytics, smart tools for retrieving and sharing meaningful insights in a collaborative cloud environment, in-built AI capabilities, pre-built and custom data connectors, a clean inventory of reports and dashboards exported or migrated from other environments, end-to-end encryption, and real-time access monitoring.
