The challenge
Unlocking the potential of your SAP data
To stay competitive, companies are under constant pressure to innovate and adapt. As a result, ongoing digital transformation is no longer a strategic advantage – it’s a basic requirement for survival. Companies that don’t increase operational efficiency, improve the customer experience, and respond flexibly to market changes will quickly fall behind.
More than 400,000 companies rely on SAP business software for digital support. These companies are undertaking numerous digitalization projects, each with its own set of major challenges and tasks. Only those who master these challenges can unlock the full potential of their SAP and non-SAP data.
- Break down data silos: Complex IT landscapes with a mix of SAP and non-SAP systems complicate data integration and efficient data use.
- Modernize outdated systems: Legacy systems like SAP ECC or SAP BW lack the flexibility to drive innovation.
- Improve self-service analytics: Business users often lack direct access to the data and tools they need for in-depth analysis.
- Prepare for AI use: AI thrives on quality-assured data—a reliable data foundation is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
- Find suitable partners: The openness of the SAP Business Data Cloud offers a wide range of options with Databricks, SAP Datasphere, and SAC, making it crucial to find service providers and consultants with the right expertise.
Companies that fail to use their SAP data effectively risk inefficient processes, a lack of agility, and missed market opportunities.
