  30. User Observations

  31. ? User Research at Four Customers: Lack of Integration Assets get lost between the systems Users create workarounds Paper processes bridge the gap

  32. Why People Like To Work With Maps • Makes users more efficient • Gives more people access to SAP data and functions • Covers new business scenarios • Increases system acceptance • E.g. create a work order in ¼ of the time • Find assets more quickly • Install new equipment in minutes instead of an hour

  33. Why People Like To Work With Maps • Makes users more efficient • Gives more people access to SAP data and functions • Covers new business scenarios • Increases system acceptance • E.g. engineering department looks up current infrastructure • Police looks up streetlight wattage in crime areas • Utility looks up whether city already trimmed trees • Fire department looks up street closures

  34. Why People Like To Work With Maps • Makes users more efficient • Gives more people access to SAP data and functions • Covers new business scenarios • Increases system acceptance • E.g. lengthen electric line on map  calculate new length  SAP calculates material cost • Route people and items • Determine households connected to transformer  inform of outage

  35. Why People Like To Work With Maps • Makes users more efficient • Gives more people access to SAP data and functions • Covers new business scenarios • Increases system acceptance Easy entry point to SAP processes and data

  36. Why Organizations Want to Integrate SAP with GISs • Data Related • Lowers data maintenance efforts • Improves SAP data quality • Organization Related • Reduces operational cost • Improves cross-group collaboration • Save effort by maintaining data in only one system and automatically synchronize • Reduce errors of duplicate entries

  37. Why Organizations Want to Integrate SAP with GISs • Data Related • Lowers data maintenance efforts • Improves SAP data quality • Organization Related • Reduces operational cost • Improves cross-group collaboration • Find many records which in reality are obsolete

  38. Why Organizations Want to Integrate SAP with GISs • Data Related • Lowers data maintenance efforts • Improves SAP data quality • Organization Related • Reduces operational cost • Improves cross-group collaboration • E.g. reduce unneeded repair trips by 20% • Save time in call center

  39. Why Organizations Want to Integrate SAP with GISs • Data Related • Lowers data maintenance efforts • Improves SAP data quality • Organization Related • Reduces operational cost • Improves cross-group collaboration • E.g. synchronize who will dig in what order

  41. SAP GUI GIS GUI Four Levels of Integration: The Outset Standard Apps SAP Application GIS Application SAP Analytics SAP DB GIS DB

  42. SAP GUI GIS GUI Four Levels of Integration: Needed Connections Standard Apps SAP Application GIS Application SAP Analytics SAP DB GIS DB

  43. Current UI Integration Practice: SAP Data in the GIS

  44. Current UI Integration Practice: HTML Control in SAP

  45. Current UI Integration Practice: Portal Eventing

  46. Current “non-UI” Integration Example: Jump Button

  47. Current Data/Process Integration: External Tools • Do-it-yourself Against SAP BAPIs and GIS APIs • Homegrown code (80% of customers) • SAP GIS Business Connector (outdated) • Integration Broker (10% of customers) • Out-of-the-Box Solutions • “Impress for GIS” (for ESRI ArcGIS Desktop) • GE Energy “Smallworld Business Integrator”

  48. Current Analytics Integration • Basically non-existent • Few customers using built-in maps in SAP BW • Impress 2.1

  49. Future Blueprint: Three Different Types of Users SAP GUI User Composite User GIS User SAP Functionalities and APIs Composite Business Processes and Services GIS Functionalities and APIs SAP GIS Data Synchronization and Distribution
