Techopedia Explains Business Information Warehouse

SAP is a company that offers various applications and services based on its R/3 system. SAP products are used for financial management, operations planning, document archiving, etc. These products run under Windows and use a conventional client/server model.

Business Information Warehouse includes features for automated data extraction, a metadata repository, administrative tools and a Web dashboard. It is optimized for R/3, but is not limited to this design. SAP’s Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) allows connecting the program to applications outside of the R/3 system.
