SAP Business Data Cloud.

Turn SAP data into decisions

We help enterprises design, build and run a modern, governed data foundation so analytics, planning and AI deliver business value, not busywork.

What is SAP Business Data Cloud?

SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) is a cloud native approach to unifying, governing and activating enterprise data across SAP and non SAP systems, evolving how organisations traditionally approached analytics through platforms such as SAP Business Warehouse Cloud. In practical terms, BCD provides a semantic business layer, data federation and replication, robust governance (catalogue, lineage, access controls) and open connectivity so teams can analyse, plan and build AI solutions using trusted, business ready data. It compliments your transactional systems (e.g. S/4HANA) by creating a consistent, analytics optimised view of your business that tools like SAP Analytics Cloud, Power BI or notebooks can consume.
