The digital economy demands organizations to treat their data not as an asset but as an essential strategic instrument. Just having data does not make an enterprise. Real-time analytics that deliver actionable insights need to be available at the moment decisions are made.
SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) together with SAP Datasphere delivers exactly what organizations need in this situation.
These tools enable organizations to manage and analyze data from various on-premises and cloud, and third-party platforms while preserving trust and context and governance standards.
As an SAP Silver Partner, Integritty.com leads the way in helping organizations implement these tools to execute data strategy transformations while supporting intelligent choices and building AI-ready business infrastructure for future success.
Real-time data analytics has emerged as an essential business necessity for organizations
Modern enterprises experience difficulties when using traditional BI tools together with data warehouses because these systems lack the ability to meet present-day requirements. Organizations that generate reports which need extended hours or days to prepare are unable to meet current operational needs. Businesses today must:
- Detect fraud the moment it occurs
- Optimize supply chains dynamically
- Predict customer churn in time to act
- Adjust marketing spend in real time
Organizations need more than analytics capabilities because SAP’s latest data innovations provide real-time unified intelligent data operations.
SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) represents the next-generation unified data platform which SAP introduced to the market.
SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) functions as SAP’s unifying enterprise data strategy which combines SAP application data with third-party system data into a unified business-oriented layer. Built on the foundation of SAP Datasphere, it offers:
- The system provides department and platform-agnostic business data that maintains context.
- The architecture operates as an open system for multi-cloud platforms through its federated design.
- The system includes built-in AI readiness through support for machine learning and natural language processing, and predictive analytics capabilities.
