SAP BI/BW is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing solution produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW (Business Information Warehouse), then abbreviated to SAP BW, but is now known as “SAP BI” at the end user level. In contrast, “BW” is still used to describe the underlying Data Warehouse Area and Accelerator components. It is often used by companies who run their business on SAP’s operational systems.
