This week we officially presented the first copy of SAP Lumira, Discovery edition – The Comprehensive Guide<\/strong>\u00a0by SAP Press\u00a0to Merlin Knott (SAP VP of Sales for Analytics North Europe) at the SAP Hybrid Analytics<\/a>\u00a0knowledge event organized by SAP Netherlands and Interdobs.<\/p>\n

SAP Lumira, Discovery edition – The Comprehensive Guide<\/strong>\u00a0is now available for purchase via SAP-Press.com<\/a> and Amazon<\/a> and can be ordered as hardcopy, DRM-free ebook or bundled editions. Personally I see the bundled edition at SAP Press as the best deal, as it gives you the hardcopy to read, and the PDF ebook as a reference for when you are on the road or when you want to check out the full color screenshots.<\/p>\n

The book covers all the new features from the very recent 2.1 release of SAP Lumira, Discovery edition. It offers a lot of value for those who are new to the tool, as well as for those who have used SAP Lumira 1.x in the past.<\/p>\n

We make sure that beginners are brought up to speed in a very fast way, by offering easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to create a “story” and perform tasks in the tool. The datasets that are used in the chapters can be downloaded from the SAP Press book page<\/a>, so the reader\u00a0can follow along with the examples throughout the book.\u00a0We use hundreds of detailed screenshots to further explain the Lumira Discovery concepts and features.<\/p>\n

For readers with experience in SAP Lumira 1.x we make sure that the transition to 2.1 is as smooth as can be. The book describes the completely new Lumira Discovery 2.x user interface and its new way of working. We extensively discuss the different offline and live data scenarios and give a complete overview of all the data analysis, data manipulation and visualization options the tool has to offer. In addition, the installation and setup of both the client tool and BI Platform server add-on are described in detail. At the end of the book we discuss several interoperability scenarios to extend Lumira Discovery stories in\u00a0SAP Lumira, Designer edition.<\/p>\n
