SEM in future

Former Member — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:48:08 GMT

Experts,

I would like to know about the future of SEM components and releases.

BI-IP is being talked about replacing BPS.So would BPS become obsolete in future? so would other components in SEM? Any opinions on this?

From a generic planning solution, BI-IP has replaced BPS and is the direction going forward. Additionally, with SAP BPC (Outlooksoft), there is a lot of flexibility. For a comparison and roadmap questions around this, see this blog:

If you have more specific questions after checking the blog, let me know...

Cheers,

Prakash

Hi,

Well when u say replace BPS with BI IP then let me tell you SAP will not bring you something totally new from the BPS . It will provide some enhancements or added features. So if you know BPS i dont think it will be difficult to BI IP .

Decide if u want to award points or close the issues.
