What is SAP Data Intelligence?

SAP Data Intelligence aims to transform distributed data sprawls into vital data insights, to deliver innovation at scale. It is a data management solution that connects, discovers, enriches, and orchestrates disjointed data assets into actionable business insights at enterprise scale. It enables the creation of data warehouses from heterogeneous enterprise data, management of IoT data streams, and facilitates scalable machine learning.

SAP Data Intelligence aims to allow users to leverage business applications to become an intelligent enterprise and provides a holistic, unified way to manage, integrate, and process all your enterprise data.

With SAP Data Intelligence users can:

1. Discover and connect to any data, anywhere, anytime from a single enterprise data fabric

SAP Data Intelligence is used for multiple use cases:
- Data is integrated from different source systems, which is then analysed first. After the analysis data is transformed and harmonized.
- Further, machine learning algorithms are modeled in SAP Data Intelligence and run on the data set.
- What is more, the SAP Data Intelligence environment interacts with different on premise systems and the results of the machine learning processes are sent back to the on premise systems.
  • Great machine learning capabilities
  • Many possibilities to connect source systems and interact with it
  • Operation on cloud reduces administration tasks to a minimum
  • Great Governance capabilities
Cons
  • Still fairly new product
Well suited for connecting various source systems, especially SAP systems, to SAP Data Intelligence and work with the data. Many possibilities to use machine learning algorithms. Fully managed on cloud.

We have BW/HANA for Enterprise Finance data hub. We source data from multiple sources into this data hub. We build reports on top of this data hub to support Financial management reports as well as Financial Close consolidation for external reporting. We also expose Finance data to external interfaces for different use cases.
  • Performance
  • Scalability
Cons
  • External consumption (openness)
  • User friendly SQL Explain plans missing
It is scalable and performant. HANA Models can get quite complex to handle special situations.

We are an early adopter of [SAP] Data Intelligence (DI), for which we are pioneering use cases with SAP as a partner company. Our broad goals are to increase transparency and reduce risk for renewable energy investors. Specifically with with DI we can set up real time monitoring pipelines using Machine Learning models that continuously compare historic power generation asset performance with their current performance. This provides early under performance warnings to the owner/investor so they can take action to avoid excessive costs due to mechanical failures or other equipment down times.
  • It integrates well with our current ecosystem of SAP products, like HANA.
  • It provides end-to-end machine learning operations, with tools for the complete model life cycle.
  • It has a simple user interface for novice users, with complex tools also available for power users.
  • It builds on SAP Data Hub, providing all the ETL functions of that tool with additional machine learning functionality.
  • It can run in the cloud, no on-premise software management needed.
  • Many programming languages are supported, it provides a sandbox environment for the user to develop in whichever style they prefer.
  • SAP is very actively developing and improving it.
Cons
  • The administration tools are still in development, currently SAP must be contacted for most admin tasks.
  • Updates sometimes introduce unwanted instabilities.
  • The documentation and examples use cases are still being written and need to be expanded.
SAP Data Intelligence is suitable for large scale commercial machine learning applications where hundreds or thousands of similar but unique processes must be independently monitored, for scenarios that must run automatically and repeatedly without data scientist involvement, and for scenarios where data is continuously collected. It is less appropriate for specialized data science projects with a fixed data set that will not be repeated.

SAP Data Intelligence is effective because it offers helpful filters for managing data in a way that saves time and increases productivity. SAP Data Intelligence enables you to download filtered data into Microsoft Excel for further analysis. SAP Data Intelligence makes it simple to comprehend how data moves from one stage to the next.
  • SAP Data Information allows for the extraction and analysis of data and intelligence needed to improve the organization's and customers' services.
  • By applying filters to SAP Data Intelligence, you may create personalized reports.
Cons
  • Updates to the user interface are required.
  • The cost of a plan membership is pretty expensive.
SAP Data Intelligence enables the search and analysis of data from a variety of sources, which is critical for making choices based on these analyses.
