BNP runs SAP IQ in the data center in Nuremberg as a reporting database where data for CZ reports are uploaded from the data warehouse. This database in SAP IQ grows in terms of the volume of stored data and attached reports while maintaining the speed of data reporting and thus demonstrates its technical quality.
