SAP-to-Databricks transformation

Your SAP data holds the keys to AI, but how can you make the most out of it?

Most organisations rely on SAP to run their core business. Yet, while SAP data powers critical  decisions, it often remains siloed, hard to extract and costly to manage.

With SAP Busine Warehouse (SAP BW) maintenance ending in 2027, the pressure is on to modernise.

However, traditional migration projects can be slow and expensive, often taking 10 full-time equivalents (FTEs) over several months.

However, remaining on SAP BW may present significant challenges for your business, especially as data demands and analytics needs evolve.

Common challenges our solution addresses

End-of-life systems

SAP BW 7.5 systems are approaching the end of life by the end of 2027, with lessened maintenance support 

Slow time-to-market for AI and analytics
Launching new AI-driven or analytics initiatives can take longer due to legacy architecture limitations
Complex integration with non-SAP data
Combining SAP data with external sources can be complex
High operational costs and performance bottlenecks
Legacy infrastructure can be expensive and performance constraints may hinder large-scale reporting or real-time analytics
Data governance challenges
Legacy systems often create inconsistencies, where different reports or departments rely on conflicting or outdated data sets
Limited compatibility with modern tools
Leveraging leading analytics platforms like Power BI, Tableau, Looker or programming languages like Python is often restricted or inefficient
