Lessons Learned from an Enterprise SAP BusinessObjects Lumira Deployment at Organic Valley

Hosted by: Analytics SIG of BI Communities

LINK TO SLIDES

Organic Valley is a $1 billion farming cooperative whose employees loved SAP Crystal Reports, SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence and, most of all, Excel. Requesting reports from IT took too long, and business insights were hidden in tabular data. In 2016, the BI team rolled out SAP BusinessObjects Lumira. In this presentation, you'll learn about the deployment approach, data and universe preparation, and impact self-service data visualization has had in its first year post go-live.
