    Scenarios of providing SAP data to external sources and to build SAP agents with Joule. SAP Business Data Cloud can turn you S/4 data into products that can then be easily shared and consumed by other tools. Specifically we've been able to create derived data products that was shared through SAP Business Data Cloud connect to databricks to be leveraged in Genie and Genie Code for agent build.

    SAP
    • We have created the semantically rich dataproducts which are residing in the object store. We use the same dataproduct for the dashboarding and for the external non-SAP demand planning tool (maestro). This ensures data uniformity and a single source of truth.
    • We implemented the Capex planning model in SAP Business Data Cloud's SAC tool. Here, we could fetch the realtime data from the S4 source system and write back the planning data to the same source system via the SAP Datasphere using the seamless planning option.
    • An AI core model has been deployed in SAP Business Data Cloud for the service cloud V2 data. This trained model will identify the potential customers from the opportunities and automatically propose the quotation with higher accuracy.

    For me, since its fully cloud solution (SaaS), the prices comes based on the usage, also SAP Business Data Cloud comes with multiple service (SAP BW, SAC & Datasphere) in Single platform where the maintenance is also less, also it is already available with AI capabilities (SAP Joule), with one single platform (with multiple services) skills can be increased, having worked 13 years in SAP BW, I would like to see the evolution of the data.

    SAP Business Data Cloud has been highly available and reliable for our day-to-day activities. We have experienced very few disruptions, and the platform generally performs consistently. The reason for not awarding a perfect score is that occasional maintenance activities or cloud service issues can occur, as is common with any enterprise SaaS platform. Overall, availability has met our business needs very well.

    SAP Business Data Cloud provides solid overall performance, with pages and standard reports generally loading within an acceptable timeframe. The platform handles enterprise-scale data and analytics workloads effectively. While very large datasets, complex reports, or extensive integrations can occasionally impact response times, overall performance has been reliable and suitable for business operations.

    I have done implementation of models in traditional bw and Using BDC. The integration of BDC with S4 hana for creating sap data products is seamless and reduces lot of implementation effort. The intelligent app feature is BDC also eases the implementation effort. If i have to compare the previous world with new BDC, implementation effort is largely saved

    When I used Collibra, it was providing good insight and automatic report but Collibra was hard to integrate with other system and required expert knowledge and Collibra team support to integrate fully. When we switched to SAP Business Data Cloud, Integration was seamless with Edna and other data storages like data lake.

    Contract Terms and Pricing Model
    IOMETE
    No answers on this topic
    SAP
    I would rate the contract terms and pricing structure of SAP Business Data Cloud as 7 out of 10. The pricing model is generally aligned with enterprise-scale deployments and provides flexibility for organizations looking to consolidate data, analytics, and governance capabilities on a single platform. The contract terms are comprehensive, and SAP offers multiple licensing options to support different business requirements and growth scenarios.The primary reason for this rating is that the pricing and licensing structure can be complex to understand, particularly when estimating long-term costs as data volumes, users, and workloads increase. Greater transparency around consumption-based charges, usage forecasting, and future scaling costs would make planning easier. I would also prefer simpler licensing bundles and more predictable pricing tiers. Overall, the model supports enterprise needs well, but additional simplicity and clarity would improve the customer experience and make budgeting more straightforward.

    SAP Business Data Cloud provides strong scalability for enterprise data management and analytics, supporting growth in data volumes, users, and business use cases. The platform's extensibility and integration capabilities make it adaptable across departments and sites. The reason I did not rate it higher is that large-scale deployments may require additional effort around governance, integration, and advanced customization to fully realize enterprise-wide adoption

    The professional services team demonstrated strong technical expertise and a solid understanding of data integration, analytics, governance, and cloud architecture. They provided valuable guidance during planning, implementation, and configuration phases, helping accelerate deployment and reduce potential risks. Their recommendations aligned well with best practices and supported a smooth transition to the platform.The reason I did not assign a higher rating is that some specialized requirements required additional consultation cycles and coordination between different teams, which occasionally extended timelines. In certain cases, deeper industry-specific examples or more tailored implementation guidance would have been beneficial. Despite these challenges, the team remained responsive, collaborative, and focused on achieving business outcomes. Overall, the professional services engagement added significant value and helped maximize the benefits of the SAP Business Data Cloud investment.

    SAP
    • With the support for AI/ML use cases via SAP Data bricks and via zero copy delta share to enterprise data bricks, it has really made a bigger impact since this was our bigger pain point with the legacy warehouse solution
    • With the working capital intelligent app, it was the biggest game changer and it really made big impact on the customer to understand the SAP Business Data Cloud and its capabilities
    • with public cloud Saas , it has reduced the maintenance effort from IT to the greater extend. With traditional BW, IT has to take the overhead of database upgrade , patch upgrade, service pack upgrade etc. This is one of the key capabilities that provides high ROI in my opinion
    • with the support for the zero-copy delta share to other products like snowflake and google analytics, i think we are moving towards the good direction and i think the best-selling point to the customer
    • With the replication flow capabilities of datasphere which is also part of SAP Business Data Cloud, it resolves another main business problem of data transfer from S4 to Microsoft fabric.
