Customer SuccessAPOS Web Intelligence Migrator - UNX Migration - Healthcare
Managing the move to UNX in a healthcare environment
Customer Profile
A private, not-for-profit healthcare network based in California and operating numerous facilities.
Landscape & Core Challenge
SAP BusinessObjects is critical infrastructure for this customer, providing access to their EHR records. Because UNV universes will not be supported in SAP BusinessObjects BI 2025, they needed to convert their UNV universes to UNX and repoint their reports to the new universes. Their universes are updated frequently to support evolving operational realities and regulatory demands, so it was important to accomplish the conversion and repointing in a short period of time to ensure business continuity.
Problem: Manual repointing and validation of reports is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error.
Requirements
- Conversion of 20+ universes to UNX
- Repointing thousands of Web Intelligence reports
- Validation of report functionality
- Organization of business units into conversion and repointing projects
Barriers
- Manual Web Intelligence report repointing is time- and resource-intensive
- Manual repointing and testing are prone to human error
- SAP conversion resources do not enable bulk upgrades
