Hello,
In the beginning, we had SAP BW. Shortly after that, SAP BW was bundled with other components, such as SAP Workplace (and later SAP Enterprise Portal) to form a licensed product that was named mySAP Business Intelligence (mySAP BI), to distinguish between the overall solution and the underlying SAP BW component.
With the development of the SAP NetWeaver, it was determined that the business intelligence component should become part of this platform. A decision was made to retain u201CBusiness Intelligenceu201D as the name of the underlying component, because this name is more descriptive of the scope of the product, including as it does data warehouse management, extraction, transformation and loading capabilities, business modeling, business content, OLAP analysis, data mining, business insights via alerts and reporting features, and planning functions with the new BW-BPS.
Hope it will clear your doubt.
Regards,
Bluesky
