In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, organizations are increasingly relying on real-time, data-driven decision-making. SAP offers a robust ecosystem for data management and analytics, and two of its most powerful solutions—SAP Data Intelligence and SAP Data Warehouse Cloud (SAP DWC)—can be seamlessly integrated to create a scalable, agile, and intelligent data landscape.
This article explores how businesses can leverage SAP Data Intelligence in conjunction with SAP DWC to optimize data connectivity, governance, and advanced analytics in a unified environment.
SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is a cloud-native data warehousing solution that combines the richness of traditional data warehousing with the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. It empowers users—from IT to business analysts—to model, integrate, and analyze data in a single, collaborative environment.
SAP Data Intelligence is an enterprise data orchestration solution that connects, discovers, enriches, and orchestrates data across distributed landscapes. It helps organizations manage the entire data lifecycle—from ingestion and integration to cataloging and pipeline execution.
While SAP DWC excels in providing business users with a self-service, analytical data warehouse, SAP Data Intelligence brings advanced orchestration, integration, and governance capabilities. Together, they enable a hybrid and federated data landscape.
Unified Data Landscape
SAP Data Intelligence acts as a bridge to unify disparate data sources—structured, unstructured, SAP, and non-SAP—and make them accessible within SAP DWC for analytics and reporting.
Data Orchestration and Automation
Complex data preparation and processing tasks can be automated through data pipelines in SAP Data Intelligence and then consumed in SAP DWC for real-time analytics.
Data Governance and Lineage
Data Intelligence provides a metadata repository and lineage tracking that complements SAP DWC’s modeling environment, improving data transparency and trust.
AI and ML Integration
Use SAP Data Intelligence to embed machine learning models directly into your data pipelines and expose their results in SAP DWC for consumption by business users.
Hybrid Data Management
Seamlessly integrate cloud and on-premise data sources without requiring massive data replication, thanks to SAP Data Intelligence’s virtualization and federation capabilities.
Consider a global manufacturing company aiming to monitor supply chain KPIs in real time.
This integration results in a real-time, governed, and business-accessible analytics platform that supports better supply chain performance.
The integration of SAP Data Intelligence with SAP Data Warehouse Cloud marks a significant step toward a comprehensive, agile, and intelligent data ecosystem. Organizations that leverage this synergy can transform raw, siloed data into business-ready insights—fast, securely, and at scale.
Whether you are modernizing legacy systems or scaling analytics capabilities, this combination offers the agility and governance needed for today’s data-driven enterprise.
