SAP Lumira is strategically obsolet as a Platform
Since the introduction of the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), SAP's strategic direction has been clear:
Lumira 2.0 is still supported, but is no longer recommended as a new investment.
We share this recommendation, as new developments and innovations take place in the SAC - no longer in Lumira.
Since the introduction of SAC Story 2.0 at the latest, we also actively recommend that our customers switch from Lumira 2.0 to SAC.
A transformation project can be complex and cause for concern. We have already successfully completed several of these projects and would be happy to advise you.
We have more information on the SAP Analytics Cloud for you here:
We will of course continue to support you in the development of Lumira 2.0 dashboards.
Tools included in SAP Lumira 2.0
- Data discovery & dashboarding
- Office integration
- Reporting
In the Data Discovery & Dashboarding area, the main product is SAP Lumira 2.0, for Office Integration Analysis Office and in the Reporting area Crystal Reports Web Intelligence.
SAP Lumira 2.0 is the completely revised successor of SAP BO Design Studio and SAP Lumira and combines both central front-end tools for creating management and self-service dashboards. The two tools for Self Service BI, Design Studio and Lumira, share the same technological basis. The advantage: The different departments can work better with the IT department because dashboards or analyses developed in the departments can be used by IT as a basis for more complex dashboards or function enhancements.
Lumira 2.0 includes two different tools:
SAP Lumira Designer and Lumira Discovery
Everything about SAP Lumira Designer
Lumira Designer supports SAP BW and HANA-specific services and can also process various sources such as BEx queries, InfoCubes, CSV files, HANA views, etc. Stories and data sources can also be edited, modified and extended as composites from SAP Lumira Discovery. Data from Lumira Designer can also be easily imported and edited in SAP Office Analysis, ensuring high interoperability of the individual SAP tools.
If you have special requirements for your dashboard, we can implement your own components with the help of the SAP Software Development Kit.
