SAP Data Analysis in Fabric or Power BI
Summary
You need SAP data for ad hoc root cause analysis, Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboards, and status reporting dashboards with built-in Governance. You can use Fabric, Power BI, or any other tool. If you use Business Objects (SAP BO) or Business Warehouse (BW), you can use Simplement in parallel to feed any SAP data to Fabric or Power BI and retire BO/BW like our customers.
Simplement focuses on helping SAP businesses make great decisions by empowering analysts and data consumers. Simplement created Roundhouse™ to extract SAP data from both ECC and S/4, feed a data lake or data warehouse, and help deliver real-time data to users.
BW Background
Business Objects was created in 1990, Business Warehouse in 1998. Both require time-consuming steps for IT departments. We make it easy to create and modify reports and feed Fabric, Power BI, or any other analysis tool.
You hired talent with expectations—did you give them great tools?
SAP CDC By Simplement
Users LOVE Simplement because they find all the SAP data they need. Simplement’s Roundhouse was designed for Real-Time, Lightweight, Low-Cost, Comprehensive Reporting from SAP. This means:
- Real Time: Saving a change in SAP pushes to your data lake then updates reports when refreshed

Total control of the data. Data never leaves customer control. Pick the database, configure for governance, use SAP security if desired, select only desired data to minimize storage costs.
Risks
Not starting now. Fortune Global 100 customers use Simplement (SAP Certified) for a reason: ADVANTAGE. SAP proposes that customers migrate to S/4 and use SAP Datasphere and SAP Analytic Cloud (SAC), which will require custom creation of all reports. Is your team trained using these tools? This leads to high migration expenses and recreating reports while keeping business running.
Let us help you with powerful ECC reporting now and later merge S4 data into existing reports. During S4 migration you’ll catch errors, cancellations, A/P issues, and Master Data gaps easily.

Simplement Report Ready Information (RRI) solutions cover areas like General Ledger, Inventory, Accounts Receivable, Sales Orders, MRP, etc.
Fast, Efficient Analysis Tools
Every piece of our offerings are designed to move your data as fast as possible to users. For root cause analysis, fast data access is essential. If data isn’t in BW reports, accessing it is inefficient and costly. Simplement delivers all SAP data, so any data can be reviewed with ease.
Report creation is also a challenge. Analysts often know SQL, so give them ad hoc reporting access to create valuable dashboards and exception reports. Simplement offers preconfigured templates and reports, easily modified for quick deployment.
If you’re on ECC or migrating to S/4HANA, start with Simplement now. Access ECC data in real-time and use S/4HANA compatibility views to merge data from both systems, reducing report costs at S4 go live.
