Plan the move to SAP BDC

From a question mark to a clear strategy

Does this sound familiar? Your company has decided to purchase SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC). The licensing decision has been made. But what comes next is anything but clear.

You probably have a lot of questions: What does SAP BDC actually entail – and what doesn’t it? How do I use data products? How does the new data platform fit into the existing data & analytics landscape that has evolved over the years? How do Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric fit into the picture? And above all: Where do I actually start?

These questions are valid. Because SAP Business Data Cloud isn’t just a technological upgrade – it represents a paradigm shift in data architecture. Starting without a clear direction wastes time, money, and the buy-in of business units.

SAP Business Data Cloud combines SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud, data products, and SAP Joule into an integrated ecosystem that is also open to non-SAP tools. Anyone who understands how these components interact – and knows how their own SAP BW system fits into this ecosystem – has grasped the most important foundation for a successful start with the SAP BDC.
