SAP NetWeaver BW data.

SAP recommends using BI platform for productive use of the Office Add-in, as BI platform
supports main services such as central repository including security, interoperability and, in
future, lifecycle management. But you can also use it without BI platform and store and
distribute workbooks locally or on any share drive often used in testing environments.

BEx 3.5 (NetWeaver 2004) is in extendend Maintenance (2013). Note that full PAM support
of BEx 3.5 cannot be granted by SAP as Microsoft has removed, e.g., support for some
components within Windows 7 that had been used by BEx Web Application Designer 3.5.
