How BEEM accelerates the use of SAP data inside PowerBI

Industry

Business Intelligence

A company was using SAP to manage a large amount of operational data and the creation of a semantic data model was essential to make them usable in Power BI. This model had to structure the data by establishing relationships between different tables, thus facilitating their understanding and use by teams for in-depth analyses. The complexity of SAP tables and the considerable time required for this manual modeling can considerably slow down analysts. It is in this context that BEEM stepped in, providing an answer to the challenges of simplification and fluidity in data processing, while freeing teams from the heaviest tasks.

Key Obstacles Identified

  • SAP Table Complexity: Creating a semantic model that can be used in Power BI is complex, requiring a lot of manual manipulation and lengthening processing.
  • High Modeling Time: The manual process of manipulating SAP tables slows down report production, causing delays in decisions.
  • Excessive Team Mobilization: This mobilizes analysts who spend too much time preparing data, which increases costs and can reduce profitability.
  • Increased Risk of Errors: The manual process increases the risk of inconsistencies, compromising the quality of reports.

Context

This company was facing significant challenges in making its SAP data usable in Power BI. Every step, from extracting data to organizing it into a semantic model, required significant manual effort. The complexity of SAP tables and the time it took to prepare reports were slowing down teams and increasing costs.

Analysts were spending a lot of time organizing data and managing relationships between tables, distracting them from strategic analysis. This limited the speed with which the company could leverage its data to make informed decisions. In addition, the manual nature of the process could increase the risk of inconsistencies in reports, which could then affect the quality of insights.

This is where BEEM emerged as a critical support. Faced with these challenges, the company needed an approach that simplified data processing and accelerated operations while ensuring reliable and consistent results.

Solution

Once the BEEM data platform was implemented, the SAP data management process was profoundly transformed. One of the key strengths of this platform is its automation of the most complex steps. Typically, teams would spend hours extracting data, organizing it, and manually establishing relationships between SAP tables before they could integrate it into Power BI. This tedious process slowed down operations and tied up considerable resources.

With BEEM, automation starts right from the SAP data extraction. The platform handles all the required transformations, automating the establishment of relationships between tables and optimizing the data structure. Where hours could be required for manual modeling, BEEM reduces this process to minutes. The data is then ready to be directly exploited in Power BI, significantly reducing human intervention and minimizing the risk of errors.

This centralization and automation of processes frees teams from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on more strategic aspects of their work. Analysts were able to move away from data modeling to focus on analyzing information and creating high-quality reports. By simplifying the management of relationships between SAP data, BEEM also improved the consistency of reports, reducing the risk of human error.

By integrating BEEM into its workflow, the company optimized the use of its resources, saving time and costs while accelerating the production of actionable insights. The leaner and more efficient process gave teams greater agility in their decision-making, while ensuring that each analysis is based on solid, well-structured data.

Results

With the transformation and modeling processes now automated thanks to BEEM, the company can significantly improve its operational efficiency. The reduction in modeling costs and the time saved on data preparation will now allow the team to fully focus on high-value strategic analyses. The reports and visualizations, produced faster and with greater reliability, will give the company better visibility into its operations.

The increased quality and consistency of data reinforces confidence in the insights generated, providing a basis for faster and more informed strategic decision-making. This will allow the company to be more agile and better equipped to anticipate market challenges, while adapting its operations in real time to changing needs.

The transformation, enabled by BEEM, will position the company for sustainable growth, allowing it not only to optimize its current operations, but also to prepare for a future where data-driven decisions will play a central role in its competitiveness and long-term success.
