Transformation Between 1997 2000 Avnet grew dramatically during which

time it employed OLAP for financial analysis System ran slowly and wasnt reliable

OLAP was replaced with SAP BW

SAP delivered integrated functions of four BI Systems : robustanalytics environment, new budgeting system, a strategic

planning system, and an executive cockpit Reports produced faster which lets user drill down to

underlying detail

Eg: drill from the general ledger into the

fixed-asset system, to see what fixed assets are currently

assigned to a particular location. Or look at headcount

information to see what positions employees hold in a certain

department
