What is SAP Data Intelligence (legacy)?

SAP Data Intelligence is a legacy data management and orchestration platform for connecting, preparing, governing, and processing data across distributed systems. Data engineers can build visual pipelines from operators, then run and monitor them in a containerized Kubernetes environment.

Key Capabilities
  • Pipeline design and execution: SAP Data Intelligence Modeler connects operators into graphs that ingest, cleanse, transform, and deliver data. Pipelines can work with sources such as SAP HANA, Apache Kafka, HDFS, and Amazon S3.
  • Data discovery and governance: Metadata Explorer profiles and organizes datasets, extracts metadata and lineage, and supports data preparation to identify and correct quality issues.
  • Workflow orchestration: Teams can schedule and monitor data flows across connected systems and reuse pipeline components.
  • Machine learning workflows: Extensions support orchestration across data preparation, model selection, validation, and deployment.

Audience & Use Cases
Data engineering and governance teams can use SAP Data Intelligence to coordinate data flows across hybrid landscapes, prepare datasets for analytics, and trace data sources and transformations. Data science teams can use its machine learning extensions to automate parts of the model lifecycle.

Maintenance and Migration
SAP Data Intelligence on-premises is scheduled to reach the end of mainstream maintenance on December 31, 2026. SAP Data Intelligence Cloud has a separate scheduled end-of-maintenance date of December 31, 2028. Organizations using the on-premises edition should plan a transition toward SAP Datasphere and SAP Business Data Cloud, mapping existing use cases to successor capabilities; SAP states that the transition is not a direct, one-to-one feature migration.
