Appendix C. The Future of Dashboarding with SAP Design Studio
When the first edition of this book was published back in 2011, SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards served as the only and premier dashboarding solution within the SAP BusinessObjects BI portfolio. A lot has changed since then. In 2012, SAP released the first version of SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio. This new tool has been built from scratch and lets you create interactive applications and dashboards that are fully HTML5-compatible and support direct connectivity to SAP HANA, SAP NetWeaver BW, and SAP BusinessObjects Universe (UNX) sources.
In this appendix, we will discuss the following topics:
- What is SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio?
- SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards versus SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio
- What is the SAP roadmap for dashboarding?
