Today, data is the foundation for innovation and new business models. However, many companies are confronted with fragmented system landscapes, isolated AI initiatives and a lack of self-service options. This leads to delayed analyses and untapped potential.
The white paper "Future-proof data platform for analytics & AI" shows how SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) addresses these challenges and why now is the right time to take an active approach to data management.
From data silos to a unified platform
The demands placed on data platforms are increasing: real-time analyses, AI-supported forecasts and flexible self-service functions are crucial for competitiveness today. With SAP BDC, data takes centre stage in value creation. Companies benefit from a consistent database, integrated AI and an architecture that grows with their requirements.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Eliminate data silos: Uniform data models for SAP and non-SAP sources
- Seamlessly integrate AI: Predictive analytics and machine learning directly in operational processes
- Empower departments: Self-service tools for independent analysis and planning
- Scalable architecture: Open interfaces for partner solutions such as Databricks, Snowflake or Google BigQuery
SAP BDC as the basis for intelligent data architecture
The platform combines SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud and other components into an integrated solution for reporting, planning and AI. The core element is the semantic layer, which brings together data from different sources and makes it available for analyses, simulations and AI applications.
Practical scenarios for use
The white paper provides concrete examples: from IoT-supported control of charging infrastructure and optimised working capital management to AI-based sales planning for car manufacturers. All scenarios illustrate how companies can use BDC to accelerate data-driven decisions and tap into new business models.
