Behind the hype: Discover what this innovative solution means for your business
SAP Business Data Cloud
SAP Business Data Cloud is at the heart of SAP’s vision for enterprise data. And it provides a powerful solution to some of our clients’ biggest business challenges.
Bringing SAP and non-SAP data together
SAP Business Data Cloud provides a central place for all enterprise data: structured and unstructured, SAP and non-SAP. This gives customers far greater visibility into business processes, customers, supply chains, financials and more – all in real time. Plus, it means no more time wasted or potential insights lost due to difficulties marrying up data from spreadsheets and disparate systems.
PwC is one of the first consultancies with hands-on experience of SAP Business Data Cloud, and we’ve achieved the first successful go-live. This means we’re uniquely positioned to help clients take advantage of this new solution. In particular, we can help clients select and bring together the right elements of SAP Business Data Cloud for their transformation journeys, and create a plan aligned with SAP’s roadmap for releasing new functionality.
How is PwC aligning to SAP's new vision?
Unleashing value from AI, including Joule
To make the most of AI innovations, including SAP’s copilot Joule, you need to bring together data from SAP and non-SAP systems. SAP Business Data Cloud is the easiest way to do this.
PwC can help to connect all the different data products in your company, building a strong foundation for advanced analytics and trustworthy AI.
Modernise your SAP Business Warehouse (BW)
For years, SAP Business Warehouse (BW) was the only viable way to get data out of the ERP and into a data warehouse for reporting and analytics. Many companies still rely on legacy BW systems, which are mostly on-premise and often very large. With SAP BW 7.5 going out of support in 2027, customers urgently need to find a new place to house their data and business logic.
Storing vast quantities of data in a cloud-based solution would be prohibitively expensive. PwC can help you work out what’s relevant, so that you can bring everything you need into SAP Business Data Cloud, without paying to store unnecessary data.
Unlock extra value from your SAP transformations across S/4HANA and beyond
Many large companies are currently working to replace their old SAP ECC applications with SAP S/4HANA, and to take advantage of SAP’s other cloud solutions like SuccessFactors, Ariba and Concur. There’s huge potential for these clients to use SAP Business Data Cloud to take advantage of SAP data products and accelerate their analytics journeys. Data products can accelerate onboarding of new data into a unified data landscape from weeks to hours or days.
PwC provides expertise in data, analytics and SAP to transform this vision into reality.
The bottom line
We help clients modernise and extend their SAP data landscapes in a pragmatic way, with short project runtimes and clear added value.
