Over a period of time businesses produced substantial amount of big data
on their day to day operations. These data are buried with a number of
information such as how the business is performing? Where the risk is? Where
the opportunity is? Which part of the business is getting stronger? Which part is
getting weaker? Etc. Extracting the buried information, to drive the business in
the right direction, is the role of information science discipline called Business
Intelligence. This article address how the raw data from daily operation, walk
through various Business Intelligence technology solutions, transforms and
becomes a powerful tactical and strategic decision making tool for the
businesses.
In this article we are focusing on a implementing an “end-to-end” SAP’s SAP
BusinessObjects solutions on SAP HANA and SAP BW.
Administrators load data from various source GL systems in to a Model. Accounting team will review the data and should there be discrepancy in balancing accounts/amounts, the team will create Journal (s) to balance the amounts for reconciling. This is necessary since correcting the source system and reloading may take significant amount of down time. This process is typically done after month-end and quarter-ends.

During period close or month end close or quarterly close the accounting concepts, the revenue generated within the group by exchanging the goods and services with affiliated companies needs to be eliminated.
All Inter-Company activities and balances should be eliminated within in a group when the group reports the financial results of entities within the group. In any given group, the entities and the partner doing business with should only be present. For this unique requirement, the IC Elimination process follows the concept called “posting at first common parent”.

Journal entries play an important part in a Business’s consolidation process. They are utilized to manage reporting inconsistencies arising out of currency conversion on inter- company transactions, to carry forward balances into a new year and other consolidation operations.
The consolidation process includes the collection of data from the underlying
Systems which will usually include ECC. (ERP Central Component). After the data is collected, it is prepared by carrying out manual adjustments, reclassifications, and currency translations. Validation can be run at any time in the overall process. Eliminations are the last part of the process where inter unit activities as well as consolidation of investments are performed.
Using BPC administration console and BPC for Excel, business users can create, post, UN post, repost and manage journals. As a onetime effort, users need to setup a journal template using BPC administration console and perform the journal operations using the BPC for Excel interface

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Introduction:
Over a period of time businesses produced substantial amount of big data
on their day to day operations. These data are buried with a number of
information such as how the business is performing? Where the risk is? Where
the opportunity is? Which part of the business is getting stronger? Which part is
getting weaker? Etc. Extracting the buried information, to drive the business in
the right direction, is the role of information science discipline called Business

4. SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool
SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool is used to build Universe.
Universe is a semantic layer lying between data warehouse and presentation
layer (reports, dashboards etc.). The purpose of the universe is to help the
business division users (not technical users) to be as independent as much as
possible from IT when using the BusinessObjects BI system. This is achieved by
translating the data in technical terms to familiar business terms. For example,
translating P_CC to Cost Center. These business terms are saved as objects in
the universe and provided to the business users, giving them the flexibility to
create reports, dashboards etc. on their own. In addition, universe provides data
format, security, filters, lookup lists etc.
