What is Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects?

With Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects, dashboard designers can enrich SAP models with live interactive maps, allowing dashboard consumers to analyze business data visually and interactively.

As a dashboard designer, you use Esri Maps Designer, the map configuration application in Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects, to configure maps that will interact with other components in your dashboard. Esri Maps Designer is designed to seamlessly integrate into the everyday workflows already familiar to you, without the need for custom coding or GIS expertise. With Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects, you can create rich maps that interact with other components and combine published geographic data from ArcGIS with SAP Dashboards business data for easier analysis.

With Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects, dashboard designers can:

• Compose a map with data from multiple sources, including data from ArcGIS.
• Plot SAP business data directly on the map.
• Define how the map data is styled and displayed.
• Define how the Esri map component interacts with other components in the dashboard.

Similarly, dashboard consumers require no additional skills or tools to start using map-enabled reports to analyze their data visually. Dashboard consumers can view, browse, query, and manipulate the maps in the dashboards using tools and actions that you configure.
