Multiple Country - Question on Environnement architecture

[Former Member]

We're looking to implement BPC 10 NW. We're actually on BPC 7.5 MS. The 7.5 was implemented for a local purposes. With the BPC 10 we plan to roll out solution in next year for multiple site in different country. Regarding architecture for ones of you working with multiple country Do you have Environnement ( App set ) per country ? Do you have only one Environnement ( Appset )

How do you manage different reporting requirement do you have multiple compnay folder to avoid to have all report in one folder ?

What the best practices for multiple company code ( ex : Canada, USA, Europe ) We know all of them may shared same report but for management purposes each site will have specific reports. I would like how to manage that in BPC

Hi Frederic,

Depending on your user/functional/security requirements, you can have country specific or functional specific application sets (now called environments in version 10) as well as applications (now called models in version 10).

However, it is best and most optimal to keep things simple and share models and dimensions as much as possible.

A well thought through design will go a long way.

Thanks,

John

Hi Frederic,

Creating multiple environments will be an additional load on the server. Moreover, the data transfer is an overhead in this case. Have one single environment. You can have different hierarchies for different reporting purposes.

Hope this helps.
