SAP solution: Data warehouse

SAP Datasphere is an open data ecosystem that makes information easily accessible and usable throughout an entire company. But how exactly does Datasphere work, and does it truly meet the expectations of modern data architectures?

The SAP Data Warehouse Cloud brings companies closer to the goal of a data-driven enterprise. Because DW in the cloud makes your own performance measurable - with all its strengths and weaknesses.

With Bissantz ERP Solutions, a business intelligence solution is created in just two days - for the entire journey from SAP to the finished dashboard on mobile.

Many companies are just starting out with Big Data. They have initial ideas. The potential is being explored. SAP also has different approaches to the topic, depending on which department you talk to.

Big Data is a big topic, but the multitude of possibilities is overwhelming. Every software provider comes up with different products and different goals. I would like to bring some structure into this jungle and make it easier to get started.

In 2016, SAP introduced BW/4 Hana, a new data warehouse. This not only replaces BW 7.5 on Hana, but also marks a turning point. At least that's what SAP says. And in fact, BW/4 is much more than simply the new release.

Archiving, management and analysis of SAP and external data have long been on the agenda for SAP managers in companies. The use of a Nearline Analytic Infrastructure (NAI) for fast, up-to-date data analysis promises further benefits.

Zeppelin, an internationally active plant manufacturer, operates a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure that is virtualized to a very high degree and - where possible - automated to a lesser extent. In the course of an SAP implementation, the group planned to deploy a new data warehouse solution.

Big Data and Data Science have been on everyone's lips for a few years now. Data scientists are desperately sought after to help discover new relationships in the data using mathematical and statistical methods.

With Hana, SAP has a real success model on offer for processing and analyzing large volumes of data. The open source community also has a powerful technology in the form of the Hadoop ecosystem. Classic competitive situation? No, a real dream team - when the advantages of both platforms are combined.

Digitalization will significantly increase the importance of purchasing. Cloud services from SAP Ariba are an important lever.

The digital transformation is also changing the role of the Business Warehouse (BW) in the company. The new BW/4 Hana shows what a BW of the future could look like. But questions remain unanswered.
