Major product updates

Platform Strategy
Ÿ To address reported customer issues around a clear platform strategy and supported features on different
platforms, and to accelerate delivery of new product capabilities, SAP decided to streamline the platform
strategy for Design Studio
Ÿ Going forward, SAP will focus Design Studio investments on the BI Platform deployment, and recommends all
customers to deploy Design Studio on the BI Platform
Ÿ NetWeaver and HANA deployments only support a minimal feature scope, and new investments are not planned
Ÿ Please refer to the Appendix for more details on the current feature support per platform

This is the current state of planning and may be changed by SAP at any time.
