December 2027 marks a natural inflection point for SAP data and analytics. As mainstream maintenance for SAP BW 7.5 draws to a close, organisations have a genuine opportunity to reassess their data landscape and move toward something significantly more capable.
SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) represents the next step. By bringing together Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Databricks in a unified platform, it enables organisations federated access to live data across systems, business users who can find answers without raising a ticket and an AI-ready foundation built for what comes next.
At the heart of BDC is a data product model that applies the same principle that transformed software development. Just as microservices provides engineering teams reusable, independently maintained building blocks, data products provides data teams a governed, discoverable catalogue of trusted assets that the whole organisation can build on. The difference is that instead of shipping faster software, you ship faster decisions. The migration journey is more flexible than most people expect. Organisations can start by moving BW workloads to the cloud, preserving existing models through BW Bridge while building new capabilities in parallel. They can however, introduce Datasphere alongside current systems and expand gradually. The path is theirs to choose, shaped by their own timeline, budget and appetite for change rather than an external deadline.
Birchman has guided organisations through exactly these decisions. This webinar sets out what BDC genuinely delivers, which migration approach suits different starting points and how to build a roadmap that holds up to scrutiny. Attendees will leave this webinar with a clear picture of the options available and the practical steps to move forward with confidence.
Key takeaways:
-
Why waiting costs more than moving
-
What business data cloud actually does
-
Your migration options (you pick the path)
-
A practical roadmap to move forward
