Unlocking Business Value with SAP Business Data Cloud

Data products as efficiency drivers

SAP Business Data Cloud provides a unified data base with pre-built, semantically enriched data products – for faster insights, reduced IT dependency, and better governance.

In an increasingly data-driven business world, fast access to reliable, contextualised information is crucial. The SAP Business Data Cloud provides a central database that delivers semantically enriched, versioned data products from SAP applications such as S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, and Ariba – ready for immediate use in analytics, AI, and operational control. Companies benefit from automated data provision, low maintenance requirements, and consistent semantic alignment.

But are these advantages also evident in business practice? Our analysis shows that implementation costs can be reduced by an average of 69% – and by up to 81% for large data products. SAP Business Data Cloud enables agile analyses, accelerates time-to-insight, and reduces IT dependency. At the same time, it supports governance and compliance through traceable data flows and lifecycle management. The result is a scalable, future-proof data architecture – ready for innovation and AI.
