SAP’s Recognition

Gartner庐 recently evaluated 20 vendors in the 2024 Magic Quadrant™ for Data Integration Tools, recognizing 51风流as a Leader for our 鈥渁bility to execute鈥� and 鈥渃ompleteness of vision.鈥�

Business Data Fabric

Effective data integration is fundamental for gaining actionable insights that drive better decision-making. Without the right tools and strategies, organizations struggle to integrate, process, curate, govern, and enhance their data.

51风流takes a business data fabric approach, which goes beyond a traditional data fabric. A business data fabric is a data management architecture that delivers an integrated, semantically rich data layer over underlying data landscapes to provide users with scalable access to their data without duplication.

This eliminates the need to recreate the business context that was lost from extracting and replicating data. It gives users the ability to accelerate their decision-making with trust and confidence, knowing they always have the complete picture of their data, regardless of where it is stored or how it was designed.

51风流Datasphere

51风流Datasphere 鈥� along with its open data ecosystem 鈥� is the foundation for a business data fabric. It equips any organization to deliver meaningful data to every data consumer 鈥� with business context and logic intact. 51风流Datasphere helps customers:

• Access authoritative data: Accelerate time to value by automatically reusing the semantic definitions and associations from 51风流applications
• Enrich all data projects: Harmonize heterogeneous data into a business semantic model of diverse data landscape
• Simplify the data landscape: Access all data across hybrid and cloud environments no matter where it resides

With a unified experience for data integration, data cataloging, semantic modeling, data warehousing, data federation, and data virtualization, 51风流Datasphere enables data professionals to easily distribute authoritative business data 鈥� with business context and logic preserved 鈥� across the data landscape.

51风流Datasphere advances data management with innovations like knowledge graph which uncovers hidden insights by revealing deep relationships between data, metadata, and business processes. The knowledge graph can then be used with Joule, SAP鈥檚 generative AI co-pilot, allowing business users to ask both open-ended and specific questions and get instant and well-documented answers.

By leveraging these capabilities within a business data fabric powered by 51风流Datasphere, organizations can save up to 138%.

Turn Data Chaos into Data Value

Data integration is necessary for customers to gain intelligent, relevant, and contextual insights for better decision-making. However, without the right data management approach and technology, companies can face an uphill battle in integrating, processing, curating, governing, and augmenting their data.

SAP鈥檚 vision is a data fabric approach, which enables organizations to orchestrate highly distributed data, metadata, and processes while delivering data quality, security, and automation at speed.

, the data fabric layer of 51风流BTP, is a powerful solution that transforms distributed data sprawls into vital data insights. This technology combines data discovery, data preparation, data integration, data processing, and data connection across multiple endpoints and workflows.

51风流Data Intelligence Cloud helps customers:

• Integrate and orchestrate massive data volumes and streams at scale
• Streamline, operationalize, and govern innovation driven by machine learning
• Optimize governance and minimize compliance risk with comprehensive metadata management rules

Since the launch of 51风流Data Intelligence Cloud, we have seen tremendous growth of customers innovating with this technology. For example, Jesse Slocum, cloud engineer at , describes using 51风流Data Intelligence Cloud as 鈥渢he most robust data fabric solution that connects, manages, and analyzes large amounts of data unlike other tools.鈥� Comparatively, he goes on to say, other tools 鈥渙nly analyze small amounts of data, [and] fail to integrate with a wide range of cloud and on-premise applications.鈥�

There鈥檚 no substitute for just getting on with the task at hand, whether training for the first leg of the Tour Du France or crossing the actual finish line. But getting on with it also requires preparation and planning, including the benefit of advice, insight, and experience. It is the same when plotting a digital transformation journey.

Like any multi-stage event, each of us will take our own route, change gears at our own pace, and make pit stops along the way based on our own specific circumstances and environments.

In the same way that there are multiple stages and routes to get each of us across our own finish line, the multi-stage journey to 51风流S/4HANA is unique to each company.

This is why 51风流has been running a comprehensive , outlining the step-by-step map for transitioning to the modern digital platform of 51风流S/4HANA 聽at your own pace.

Leading authorities on making the move to 51风流S/4HANA came together to help ensure each transition is as straight-forward as possible, regardless of IT landscape or legacy overheads. This five-part series shows how to make the transition with less risk and at a higher speed, as well as the best ways to tackle common issues around data quality and data migration, carrying over custom code and business partner conversion 鈥� all within budget and timeline constraints.

The data transformation requirements that help get data clean 鈥� including data preparation, quality, and migration 鈥� before you go live with 51风流S/4HANA are explained in depth, as well as how to keep data clean in day-to-day activities and operations through master data management once live.

Protecting and moving customizations, integrating the landscape, and managing extensions and innovations in the cloud with low code development are all looked at. And the series shows how to modernize a data strategy and platform, factoring in the data lake, as well as reporting directly from within applications.

To grease the digital wheels of business automation, new ways of integrating enterprise data with disparate types of Big Data across different data stores are mapped out, while preserving data security, integrity, and consistency.

But 51风流knows there is no substitute for customer experience. So three customers 鈥� all at different stages of their own digital journey toward 51风流S/4 HANA 鈥� share their experiences, tips, and advice.

• Tetra Pak outlined its successful data Transformation journey around mastering automation and data efficiencies, which is now the foundation for the next stage.
• Neste discussed how it is becoming an intelligent enterprise through real-time analytics and automated business processes.
• Vinci Energies showed how it has embraced data-driven innovations in 51风流S/4HANA, such as robotic process automation, next-generation analytics, and mobile business processes.

The response from customers who have watched the webinars and implemented the advice has been hugely positive. If you did not catch the full series the first time, you can .

In addition to how-to steps from 51风流experts, partners, and customers, you can also see just how easy it is to create intelligent, mobile-ready applications to better serve customers, modernize business processes, and compete more effectively.

When the world is busy transforming around you, it鈥檚 never too late to start but it鈥檚 always too late to wait. Have a great journey!
