What Is SAP BW-BPS?

With SAP BW-BPS, SAP delivers tools for generic planning, supporting a
planning process that allows for the construction of a planning model.
This model integrates global strategic planning and specific operational
planning problems in a closed-loop process, with a strong focus on
business processes across the enterprise.
This functionality brings planning, budgeting, and forecasting together
with monitoring, reporting, and analysis, and bundles it all into one
software installation and one support package cycle.
SAP BW-BPS helps you plan, budget, and forecast by providing functions
such as:
Top-down planning and bottom-up contribution with a rich set of planning
functions
A planning framework that lets you create and maintain planning models
A user interface for manual planning and analysis
Tools for process control (i.e., status tracking and monitoring)

How does SAP secure customer investments in BW-BPS?

Customers will not be forced to migrate. All scenarios created

with SAP BW-BPS* will still run, when SAP BI integrated
planning was delivered.
SAP BW-BPS will be delivered and maintained with SAP BI
releases equal or higher than SAP NetWeaver 2004.
Planning scenarios built with SAP BW-BPS can coexist and
integrate with planning scenarios built with SAP BI integrated
planning. An InfoCube can be used by BW-BPS and SAP BI
integrated planning at the same time.
Apart from this fact, SAP will offer a migration path for the
move from SAP BW-BPS to SAP BI integrated planning if
needed
No data migration necessary. SAP BI integrated planning can use
the same transactional InfoCubes as BW-BPS.
The critical and time consuming part for modeling the planning
application (characteristics, key figures, authorizations, locking
concept, ...) can be reused in SAP BI integrated planning.
More frontend related objects like planning layouts, web interfaces
etc. have to be rebuilt manually
* applies for SAP SEM-BPS, too
