2. Data Architects A well-designed and professionally built data warehouse is the foundation of any BI solution. It contains the single version of the truth for all relevant management information, historic, current or future, all of which should be of impeccable quality. We have specialists who can design your warehouse in SAP and Sybase products, including HANA.

3. Metadata Design Having fast, accurate well structured data is key to your BI. However, equally important is the metadata. If your metadata is well thought out then accessing intuitive and meaningful information for your users will be simple. We have devised our own best practice methodology to help you achieve this.

4. Extract Load & Transform In order to populate your data warehouse you will require an optimal data load process. Here at FINSAPP we specialise in data loads. We recommend using SAP Data Services to automate your feeds. We provide the skills to help you achieve your goals in terms of data cleansing, real time feeds and general performance advice.

Drop-down menus and sliders make it easy to present complex business data clearly, giving your decision makers an easy way to interact with data and test out future business scenarios with the click of a mouse.

7. Mobile Solutions Utilising SAP V4, solutions such as MOBI means your Web Intelligence reports can be pushed directly to your iPad. Mobile Explorer also allows interactive analysis of your HANA on non- accelerated Explorer modules.

8. Near Shore Support Our support teams cover SAP HANA and SAP BusinessObjects. FINSAPP aims to provide customers with 40%-50% cost reduction on headcount alone. How We Work Typically FINSAPP will place a core team of consultants onsite with the customer for a period of 4-8 weeks. During this period our team will shadow client support team members and effectively get trained on the job. Note: FINSAPP includes an ex gratis period during this initial phase. Once the team has reached an acceptable level of competence the client will begin rolling off their own team members and FINSAPP resources gradually assume control of support duties. The migration from onsite to near-shore typically starts after 2-3 months and a fully functional near-shore support service is normally operational after 4 months.
