SAP BW is a data warehouse solution used for reporting & analysis. Full form of BW is Business Warehouse. SAP BW is like an ETL tool (Extract, Transform then Load) that can retrieve data from any source and prepare the intelligent reports from that.
SAP released the first version of BW in year 1998. Initially it was called as Business Warehouse Information system, shortly BIW. After the introduction of faster SAP HANA system, BW on HANA & BW/4HANA were introduced. Both these products are different. BW/4HANA provides more features and speed than traditional Business Warehouse and BW on Hana applications. Now majority of the BW installations are migrating to BW/4HANA.
