SAP Hyperion


What is SAP Hyperion?

SAP Hyperion integration is a process of connecting the data and systems of Oracle’s Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management (Hyperion EPM) solution with SAP ERP environments. The Hyperion EPM solution is used by more than 4,000 enterprises worldwide in combination with SAP ERP systems. SAP ERP and Oracle’s Hyperion EPM software are industry-leading enterprise solutions. However, companies that use both products often face significant challenges in integrating the two environments. This can make it challenging to prepare and extract data from SAP transaction systems for use in Hyperion EPM applications.

Some key benefits to SAP Hyperion integration include:

  • enhanced data security
  • improved data accuracy
  • increased efficiency

Some key challenges to SAP Hyperion integration include:

  • data incompatibility
  • lack of standardization
  • complex data extract, transform, and load (ETL)

Key Considerations for SAPinsiders

Integration SAP Hyperion is complex. SAP Hyperion integration between ERP systems is a challenge for companies of all sizes. This is due to two different environments with their own sets of procedures. They need data from each environment, but they also need to have it prepared not to overwhelm anyone who uses these reports or analytical solutions.

Prioritize a robust plan for SAP Hyperion integration and data management and data migration. Integrating SAP Hyperion can be challenging, and it is essential to have a clear understanding of the goals and objectives before beginning the project. However, with careful planning and execution, organizations can overcome these challenges and realize the benefits of SAP Hyperion integration.

Leverage SAP Business Objects to overcome complex SAP Hyperion integrations. One way to meet this challenge is to use SAP BusinessObjects, which provides a platform for developing ETL routines that organizations can use to populate Hyperion EPM applications with data from SAP ERP systems. A successful SAP Hyperion integration using SAP Business Objects enables information sharing and collaboration between the two environments.

Explore move to SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC) during SAP S/4HANA migration in place of SAP Hyperion integration. A significant challenge faced by companies during a live and active migration to SAP S/4HANA is integrating the two environments and the need to prepare and extract data from the SAP transaction systems for use in management reporting and analytical solutions in Hyperion EPM. Some organizations are taking advantage of SAP BPC, while others are migrating away from legacy applications, such as Hyperion.
