The demands placed on modern companies are constantly increasing – business processes are becoming more complex, decisions have to be made more quickly, and data is accumulating in ever greater volumes and from a wide variety of sources. To generate real added value from this diversity of data, a reliable, integrated data architecture is required. SAP Data Warehousing provides you with exactly that foundation: a powerful platform that brings together information from different systems, consolidates it, and makes it analyzable in real time – thus laying the groundwork for informed decisions.
SAP Business Data Cloud is a fully managed SaaS platform that bundles key SAP solutions such as HANA Cloud, Datasphere, BW/4HANA PCE (Private Cloud Edition), Databricks, and Analytics Cloud in a unified environment. It enables the seamless integration of data from SAP, third-party, cloud, and on-premise sources into a consistent analytics model. Companies benefit from a centralized, business-oriented database that supports reporting, planning, data science, and AI applications. Preconfigured data products enable the creation of ready-to-use insight apps – quickly, efficiently, and without time-consuming development. The modern data lakehouse architecture also offers flexible data processing, efficient storage, and AI-powered innovation – individually adaptable to the requirements of each company.
SAP Datasphere is a central component of SAP Business Data Cloud and forms the technological basis for data integration, modeling, and governance. While Business Data Cloud acts as a comprehensive platform for data and analytics, Datasphere ensures that data from SAP and non-SAP systems can be flexibly connected, prepared, and made usable in a uniform semantic model. Data models can be created in a user-friendly manner and integrated directly into applications such as Insight Apps. The data is managed in a scalable object store and is subject to clearly defined access and governance rules. Datasphere thus offers a powerful environment for developers, analysts, and business departments to effectively process and provide data. For companies with existing SAP BW systems, Datasphere also offers easy migration paths to the cloud.
With BW/4HANA, SAP has created a BI solution that is more than just a further development of the existing Netweaver BW. In addition to extensive code optimizations, BW/4HANA offers significantly simplified modeling and greater clarity in the new development environment. The system is optimally integrated into the HANA in-memory database technology and ensures fast data processing and real-time data provision. In addition to standardized interfaces to your S/4HANA system, BW/4HANA also offers easy integration of many different data sources from non-SAP systems.
To ensure a powerful and efficient data architecture, the Virtual Data Model (VDM) is used, which provides a consistent and semantically uniform database through Core Data Services (CDS) and HANA Calculation Views. This model enables data to be modeled, transformed, and analyzed directly at the database level, allowing complex data structures to be managed efficiently. By avoiding redundant data storage and optimizing performance, it ensures that data is available in real time while maintaining high availability and quality.
Embedded BW offers the ideal solution for companies that want to analyze their operational data directly within SAP S/4HANA. It integrates business intelligence functionalities directly into the ERP system and enables fast and reliable real-time analysis without additional infrastructure.
The BI experts at 4process AG accompany you on your journey to a future-proof SAP data warehouse landscape – holistically, practically, and solution-oriented. Whether in strategic planning, technical implementation, or continuous optimization, we work with you to develop a tailor-made solution that intelligently networks your data and transforms it into a success factor.
