When should I use SAP BusinessObjects Rapid Marts instead of SAP NW Data Warehouse?
• If your long-term company strategy is going clearly towards an enterprise-wide Data Warehouse approach, you can get started right away using SAP NetWeaver BW Data Warehouse. • If you are planning a project with limited scope in terms of either size and reach (for example a specific BI solution for a business department) or of time (either as a quick win or intermediate solution) you should consider an approach using SAP BusinessObjects Rapid Marts. You can then extend to a full-blown Enterprise Data warehouse later on by bringing in an SAP NetWeaver BI Data Warehouse.
