How does this affect SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM)?
Recognizing the fact that a closed-loop planning, measurement, and analysis environment is critical to the finance function, SEM will continue to be positioned and sold as a complete business performance management suite. SEM will deliver financial specific planning applications built on base of SAP BW integrated planning. Planning and budgeting will continue to be a key component of SEM along with the existing financial consolidation, performance measurement, and strategy management functions.
