use of Microsoft Analysis Services with SAP Analysis for OFFICE

306 Views

Hi,

I have a very specific demand: my client wants to use Excel as an interface (they were using Live Office up till now), and they don't have BW, just Universes with non-SAP data stored in a Microsoft SQL server.

I have shown all the BOBJ tools, and Analysis seemed very interesting !

BUT Analysis for office works with BW, that they don't want yet.

And Analysis for OLAP would connect to a Microsoft Analysis Services cube, but it is not Excel.....

I know how BW can be of an interest, but don't want to include it yet into my presentation.

So my question is: does anyone know if SAP plans to have SAP Analysis edition for office connect to a Microsoft Analysis Services cubes in future versions ? I have not found it yet, even in Tammy's blogs ;-)

Or do you have an alternate solution to use Analysis for office with a BOE platform but no BW ?

Thank you

Best regards

Eric
