  SAP BW
  
  
  SAP BW stands for Business Warehouse and this is the module which delivers the SAP enterprise data warehousing solution. From SAP Netweaver 7.0 in fact, SAP BW is now known as SAP BI (or SAP Netweaver Business Intelligence) ... with sub modules Data Mart (BI-D) and Mixed Load (BI-MXL) ... but most people still use the term SAP BW, which includes the following main functions:
  
  
• Data extraction from source systems
  
  
• Some technical and functional transformation of the data
  
  
• Reporting (which uses Infoproviders)
