• Architecture: Query as a Web universes and/or Live Office
• Target audience: most business users
Risk
Approach
• More formal project approach allows for better change management after impact analysis
• “Waterfall”-like approach reduces assumption of continuously required changes
• SAP’s ASAP Methodology follows “waterfall” and enables such a formal structure
• Incremental approach: assumes continuous changes during implementation
• Continuous refinement after review, continuously changing requirements
• Each change to back-end will invalidate previously built reports
Approach
Identify data elements needed for universe in BEx
Purpose-build the BEx query, bearing in mind BOE supported product features
Consider adding aggregation
Tune the query
If data for a query is not yet in the cube, change the cube to support the required query, universe and reports
Consider whether going directly against an InfoCube or MultiProvider is desirable

evaluate ad-hoc requirements
Prioritize ease-of-use/ maintenance or performance
