‘Business Data unleashed": With a fireworks display of promising innovations, SAP is ushering in a new era of its analytics offering, which is closely aligned with the needs of end users. The seamless integration along business processes and the benefits for the core business of customers are the clear focus here.
But what exactly was presented and what does it mean for your future analytics world? adesso highlights the key aspects of this announcement.
Business Data Cloud is the first to define a commercial and technical umbrella around the essential building blocks of the SAP Analytics Portfolio.
In addition, and completely new, are the two main factors of the ‘pivot’:
Source: SAP
SAP is thus integrating the de facto market standard for machine learning and data warehousing from the non-SAP ecosystem into its own portfolio, opening up its own analytics world.
SAP is also providing a data product cockpit. This is where SAP data products based on SAP solutions can be initialised and activated for direct or indirect use. These data products will be operated by SAP as part of its Business Data Cloud Offering. At the same time, SAP is opening up the opportunity to publish data products developed by customers or partners here and make them available for use by third parties.
Commercially, the Analytics portfolio will be aligned with and integrated into the already well-known and established SAP RISE offering. It will be easier for SAP customers and partners to respond flexibly to ad-hoc analytics requirements and to customise the configuration of components.
Technically, SAP is bringing AI and ML power directly ‘to’ the SAP data with the Databricks distribution. This significantly reduces the time needed to supply data to AI models and speeds up the return of AI results to the SAP Analytics domain.
SAP-managed data products make data and reports from other SAP SaaS solutions, such as SAP Success Factors and SAP Ariba, seamlessly usable. This eliminates the need for complex integration and transformation processes and operational tasks.
For the first time, SAP is enabling its customers to define data products from the core of their business processes and then make them available to analytics users in a harmonised and controlled manner.
Experts also know that SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Datasphere are based and operated on the same technical basis. The bundled provision of both SAP Analytics offerings is a logical step and rounds off the Business Data Cloud.
In addition, existing SAP BW 7.5 & SAP BW/4 HANA can be transferred to SAP's cloud hosting and are then commercially and technically integrated into the cloud-native solutions. This increases cost transparency and simplifies administration.
