Reporting out of SAP R/3 4.7

My client wants reports in WEBI and dashboards in Xcelsius.
The data source is SAP R/3 4.7
I was wondering if we can report from WEBI.
With Crystal Reports 2008 it is possible and Xcelsius dashboards are also possibe using Live Office. But the major challenge here is Reporting on WEBI using R/3.
Can any one suggest a feasible solution?
Thanks,
Krishanu

Hi,
the first option is to deploy SAP BW in your organization and load/organize your R/3 data into the deployed warehouse. You can then build universes (based on SAP BW queries) and thus use WebI to report on your data.
You can also have a look at the BusinessObjects Rapid Marts. These include Data Integrator mappings which allow you to extract R/3 data into a given relational database DWH scheme. Additionally the package includes universes which allow you to report on the extracted data. Prerequisite is a relational database installation like DB2, Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle.
A generic solution for accessing R/3 data directly using WebI is not available.
Regards,
Stratos

Krishanu,
A direct method of reporting on SAP data using Xcelsius dashboards is to create web services over function modules in SAP and using the web service URL as a data connection in Xcelsius. The process is the same as creating dashboards using QaaWS URLs.
For WebI reports, we cannot directly create Universes on SAP data. We have to load the data into BW, and use the SAP Integration Kit, like the earlier poster commented.
