One of my old school friend called me and asking about the different analytics and reporting options with SAP. I looked back and find out that due to non-availability of scope of my work, I never touched upon this part of SAP. But for every SAP customer, reporting is very important for obvious reasons and analytics is essential nowadays to compete with dynamic market.

My friend has multiple SAP customers and there are various requirements from their usage, adaptability, cost, etc. perspective. Even, some implementation decisions also banking upon already invested technology and infrastructure as well. For him, I did some research and now sharing with you.
