Performance — Heavy reporting along with regular OLTP transactions can produce
a lot of load both on the R/3 and the database (cpu, memory, disks, etc). Just
take a look at the load put on your system during a month end, quarter end, or
year-end — now imagine that occurring even more frequently. Data analysis — BW
uses a Data Warehouse and OLAP concepts for storing and analyzing data, where
R/3 was designed for transaction processing. With a lot of work you can get the
same analysis out of R/3 but most likely would be easier from a BW.
