Adapting SAP Smart Business Content

What Is the Smart Business Framework?

Runtime
SAP provides end-to-end
insight to action scenarios
based on real-time KPIs for
business users in LoBs and
industries. Customers can
either use the predefined
content or define their own KPIs
and drilldown visualizations

Design time
To simplify KPI definition, SAP
provides 8 SAP Fiori apps for
KPI modeling that allow
business users to define and
adapt the SAP Smart Business
content

What Can I Build with Smart Business?

KPI tiles
Every value scenario comes with
predefined KPI tiles and drilldown
configurations. SAP provides 4
standard KPI visualizations. Based
on threshold calculations, the end
user is alerted as soon as a KPI
value becomes critical. End users
can freely arrange their KPIs and
other tiles based on the SAP Fiori
launchpad

Drilldown
SAP provides a standard drilldown to
analyze critical KPIs in real time. The
drilldown configuration can be easily
adapted by simple configuration.
Alternatively, customers can use SAP
Lumira for advanced analytics

What to Do to Make Them Work in Your Business

Fewer KPIs are always better

Stick to one language in the company
for global KPIs
Good KPI name: Inventory Turnover
Good evaluation name: Current Year
Good view name: By Country
Use top N if you have too many hits
Sort results for relevance
Leverage drilldown and navigation for
the WOW effect
