SAP Business Data Cloud: Unlocking AI & Insights-Driven Transformation
SAP has established a new era of enterprise management by seamlessly integrating applications, data and AI: SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) provides a managed SaaS solution combining several analytical products – including data products, open source technologies and Databricks advanced AI solutions. Deloitte empowers your transformation journey with expert enablement sessions and continuous support – ensuring you maximize the benefits of SAP Business Data Cloud and advanced AI solutions.
Challenge
Organizations often face the challenge of managing a fragmented analytical data architecture that spans multiple SAP systems - like BW and Datasphere - as well as various non-SAP solutions. This complexity can lead to data inconsistencies and increased costs.
This diversity can lead to inconsistencies in data management, driving up costs due to a lack of harmonization. To fully leverage the power of Business AI, organizations must establish a harmonized, scalable, business-driven data foundation. Achieving this requires streamlining data management and effective harmonization across all systems, allowing businesses to use the full potential of Business AI.
What is SAP Business Data Cloud?
SAP Business Data Cloud is a managed SaaS platform which combines analytical products such as SAC and Datasphere and enables seamless interaction with Databricks Intelligence Platform as well as AI tools. The combination of all tools and data in one platform results in a unified platform which enables the full potential of Business AI. SAP BDC supports this by offering pre-defined harmonized data products managed by SAP for multiple domains (e.g. Finance) and industries. Based on the harmonized data platform, ready-to-use Insight apps are delivered for analytical reporting and extended planning.
For customers still using SAP BW on HANA (7.5), SAP BDC simplifies data migration through the SAP BDC cockpit.
