SAP BusinessObjects ™ Rapid Marts® packages for SAP®

  • Implementing a SAP BusinessObjects™ Rapid Marts® packages for SAP® without a team of core experts is a very risky practice. A Rapid Mart expert isn't somebody who just knows SAP Business Objects Data Integrator or Data Services and Business Objects; that expert is someone who not only has unpacked, loaded, customized, handled errors and produced BI content for multiple rapid marts but also understands the ERP such as SAP Business areas very well. Along with a core understanding about Rapid Marts, these experts must have extensive expertise in SAP Business Objects Data Services and ERP Subject areas. By using this definition, Expedien is one of the very few expert rapid mart implementers in the EIM/BI space.

    What is the Rapid Mart?

    Rapid Marts are pre packaged, pre built data marts having Master and Transaction tables for specific subject areas or modules.   

    At its core, this entire process of building a data mart such as architecture, process of moving data using ETL, metadata, BI etc is exactly what you get with a Rapid Mart.  Pre built ETL programs are developed using SAP Business Objects Data Services and packaged reports are built using Business Objects. This means you get prewritten ETL transformations which are ready for modules or subjects areas of specific applications like SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft or Siebel.  Rapid Marts also provide sample metadata and content.

    Why trust Expedien with your Rapid Mart solution?

Testimonial

Expedien team knows both SAP and Data Management very well. It wasn’t necessary to have different consultants for both skills set SAP and ETL, Data Management. This helped avoiding communication gaps among consultants having compartmentalized skill sets and hence reduced our resource cost significantly.

Case Study

A Fortune 50 Manufacturing and Aerospace company implemented a data warehouse solution using multiple SAP RapidMarts. Poor performance, lack of scalability and integration, and lack of availability of updated data in their data warehouse were some of the client’s key challenges. Expedien executed extensive performance tuning of all SAP RapidMarts and developed a scalable global data warehouse platform that met the client’s current and upcoming reporting needs.
