hai reddy.

major difference over data warehouse and business information warehouse is the business content available in bw.

predefined business object's for different applications like (sd,mm,ppfi,qm)this will be available for bw. so you don't need to create report's from scratch.

2. data warehouse uses different tools for each application like(Modeling, reporting, extraction). but in BW these are integrated.

hope this help you
