Apologise to address you with a different name.

Dear Purushotham,

BW offers ready out-of-the-box components to meet the general challenges when ETL-ing, staging, exploring and broadcasting structured and integrated information in a BI solution.

OLTP as it name suggests OnLine Transaction Processing System, where as BW is related to analysis and decision making which depends less on individual transaction and more on summary information, trends.

Regards,

Chakra Pani.
