One of the biggest challenges in data management for companies is harmonizing data from different sources and ensuring easy access to it. Only with a uniform database is it possible to make informed decisions and successfully implement AI initiatives. The new functionality SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) Connect for Microsoft Fabric ensures the seamless exchange of semantically rich SAP data between SAP BDC and the SaaS analytics platform Microsoft Fabric. Alongside SAP Databricks and SAP Snowflake, SAP BDC Connect for Microsoft Fabric represents another important step towards creating an open data ecosystem and seamlessly linking SAP BDC with corresponding third-party solutions.
Harmonize your business data with SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC)
Available in real time
What makes this integration special is that data can be exchanged and harmonized between the two systems in real time without the need to create physical copies. This bidirectional zero-copy sharing eliminates the need for time-consuming replication, ensuring that data is immediately available and always up to date. This reduces the risk of data inconsistencies while increasing the efficiency and productivity of business processes.
SAP integration into the Microsoft ecosystem
SAP BDC Connect for Microsoft Fabric makes SAP data available in the Microsoft ecosystem. It is seamlessly integrated into Microsoft OneLake, the central data storage layer of Microsoft Fabric. Conversely, data sets shared from Microsoft OneLake can also be used in SAP Business Data Cloud. With Microsoft Power BI as a component of Microsoft Fabric, organizations also gain deeper insights into their business data and derive valuable insights from it.
In addition, companies can use their business-critical SAP data to develop advanced AI applications and AI agents with Microsoft AI Foundry and Microsoft Copilot. These are used to automate recurring tasks or perform advanced analyses and derive appropriate measures based on the results.
SAP BDC Connect for Microsoft Fabric also enables integration with Microsoft 365. This means that users can easily and securely access SAP data via applications such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Teams, which they use in their daily work. Availability in familiar tools facilitates data analysis and promotes a data-driven corporate culture.
Conclusion: The basis for a data-driven future
SAP BDC Connect for Microsoft Fabric ensures that companies benefit from seamless data integration and expands the possibilities for using innovative analytics and AI tools. The feature enables significant efficiency gains, improved decision-making, and optimized collaboration, which in turn contributes to sustainable business success. SAP has announced that SAP BDC Connect for Microsoft Fabric will be generally available in the third quarter of 2026. Only then will it be possible to assess the full extent of the integration into the Microsoft ecosystem.
