About CIMT

SAP and Microsoft CRM are replacing Navision

• More streamlined customer processes

• Reporting/dashboarding across multiple systems

• Daily operational reporting is crucial

• SAP could not provide the reports needed

• No SAP BW solution wanted

CCV Business Challenges

• Technical names, transport problems

• Differences between SAP instances

• To extract SAP data, additional work is needed

• Volume issues when extracting data from SAP

• Issues when loading delta’s

Challenge ahead:

• More tables, more data, expected timing issues. Extracting more sources in the future.
