SAP was made for real-time reporting. But the challenge remains: getting your information out of SAP R/3 and BW and eliminating 'maverick' reporting methods.
It's a well-known story – SAP's delivered reports (and its report development tools) have developed a reputation for:
Being 'resource intensive' in terms of in- house personnel skills development and data access development productivity
Limited user-friendliness
Customized (ABAP) reports are expensive to develop and maintain
Restricting the economies of scope across enterprise systems; promotes inefficiencies and unneeded labor specialization
'Challenged' presentation quality
Inability to integrate non-SAP data into a single report
Their difficulty to produce cross-module / cross- system reports
Requiring deep SAP functional knowledge for report development, including meaningful query development
Backlogs for ABAP report development
Requiring dedicated ABAP report developers
Cost and difficulty of non-SAP users viewing and sharing SAP and non-SAP data across the organization
Costly training classes (includes travel, time from work and class attendance costs)
Requiring years of 'hands-on' practice to obtain the robust skills necessary to become ABAP proficient
