​We want to send a big thank you to everyone who participated in our Alteryx Inspire 18 Prize Draw and helped make it a success!

We are often asked by Alteryx users the difference between using the Alteryx SAP HANA ODBC driver and the DVW Alteryx Connector for SAP.

The DVW Analytics Training Team can help you to maximize your investment in Alteryx, Tableau, SAP, BusinessObjects and our portfolio of SAP connectors including:

The ​SAP Connector for Alteryx Connect extracts metadata from SAP and loads it into Alteryx Connect. The SAP Connector for Alteryx Connect works with:

• SAP BW
• SAP Business Suite (i.e. SAP ECC, SAP CRM, SCM etc.) and SAP S/4HANA On-Premise edition

Many thanks to Teknion Data Solutions for hosting the Alteryx Dallas Ft. Worth User Group on 26th January, 2018. If you were unable to attend or want to relive the "magic", take a look at our presentation of the Alteryx Connectors for SAP.

It's not often that you get a shout-out from the CEO of a publicly listed company during the keynote speech of the company's annual conference. But, that's what happened last month at Alteryx Inspire 2017.

If you are a Tableau user who also uses SAP, getting access to your SAP data within Tableau can be a real headache. In this blog, we will introduce you to two approaches that will allow you to quickly and easily connect to your SAP BW, SAP Business Suite and SAP BusinessObjects data without having to install any additional software within your SAP landscape.

​​On Thursday 11 May, 2017 at 1400 hrs CEST Alteryx and DVW will present a webinar focused on analysts from the Transportation, Logistics and Manufacturing industries who are interested in utilising data from their SAP Business Suite, SAP BW and SAP BusinessObjects systems within Alteryx.

​DVW is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of Alteryx Inspire 2017, which is being held in Las Vegas, US from June 5 to June 7, 2017.

DVW is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of  Alteryx Inspire Europe 2017, which is being held in London, UK on 12 to 14 September 2017.

In this blog we will use Alteryx to build a model that produces a prioritized list of prospective customers for targeted marketing campaigns.

The Alteryx workflow builds a linear regression model using current customer data from SAP which is scored against prospective customer data from an Excel Sheet to produce a prioritized list of prospects.

​The data is then published to Microsoft Power BI.

Following successful customer trials DVW is pleased to announce the General Availability of the Alteryx Connector for SAP BusinessObjects. 

If you want to extract data from SAP BW, SAP Business Suite applications (including SAP ECC, SAP CRM, SAP SCM etc.) or SAP BusinessObjects directly into Tableau, you should take a look at the DVW Tableau Connector for SAP.

In this blog we will show you how you can seamlessly blend data from Salesforce.com (SFDC) with data from SAP using Alteryx and the Alteryx Connector for SAP (ACS).

If you are using Salesforce Wave Analytics to analyse your CRM data you may find it useful to blend that with your back office SAP ECC data. Take a look at our short demo showing how easy it is to pull data from SAP using the Alteryx Connector for SAP before loading it into Salesforce Wave Analytics with Alteryx.

Running SAP ECC for your back office but Salesforce.com for your CRM? Take a look at our short demo showing how easy it is to pull data from SAP using the Alteryx Connector for SAP before loading it into Salesforce.com with Alteryx.

If you are pulling your SAP data directly into Qlik you could be missing a trick. ​Check out our short demo of SAP data being used with the Predictive Analytics capabilities of Alteryx before visualising the data in Qlik.

The Alteryx Connector for SAP, works with SAP S/4HANA (AKA SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA) on-premise edition in the same way as it does for SAP’s Business Suite solutions (ECC, CRM etc.).

Take a look at this short demo of the Alteryx Connector for SAP (ACS) being used with an SAP S/4HANA system.

Is your company running on SAP? If yes, how much time do you spend preparing and cleansing data from it? Business users need fast and easy access to business critical data to make reasonable predictions and decisions. As an analyst, you want to easily blend data from SAP with other datasets to provide a broader context for analysis.

While some of our Alteryx Connector for SAP users are SAP experts, many have limited knowledge of SAP and just want to access the data they need to do their jobs.

​So, if you want to use SAP data in your Alteryx workflows but don't know your VBAK's from your BSEG's don't worry, we can help.

Check out this video in which, Daneel De Villiers of DVW, shows you how easy it is for Alteryx and Tableau users to utilize SAP data with the Alteryx Connector for SAP.

Check out our "blink or you miss it" cameo in Stuart Murray of SABMiller's presentation at Alteryx Inspire Europe 2016. Self-promotion aside, the SABMiller journey to self-service data analytics underpinned by Alteryx is well worth listening to. 

Look at those happy faces. They pretty much sum up Alteryx Inspire Europe 2016 for us. With close to one hundred meaningful conversations, twenty or so demos and our pockets full of leads, we left the conference exhausted but happy.
