In today’s data-driven business landscape, advanced analytics is essential for organizations seeking to gain deeper insights, improve decision-making, and drive innovation. SAP Leonardo, SAP’s digital innovation system, combined with SAP BW/4HANA, SAP’s next-generation data warehousing solution, creates a powerful foundation for advanced analytics that unlocks new business value.
SAP Leonardo is an integrated system that combines innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, and advanced analytics. It empowers enterprises to transform their business processes and models through intelligent applications built on the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
SAP BW/4HANA is a modern data warehouse solution optimized for SAP HANA’s in-memory database technology. It provides a scalable, real-time data platform for consolidating, modeling, and analyzing data from multiple sources. SAP BW/4HANA supports streamlined data management, accelerated data processing, and integration with cloud and on-premise systems.
Combining SAP Leonardo’s intelligent capabilities with SAP BW/4HANA’s robust data warehousing creates a comprehensive analytics ecosystem that delivers:
This synergy enables enterprises to go beyond traditional reporting and descriptive analytics to predictive and prescriptive analytics, driving smarter business outcomes.
SAP BW/4HANA acts as the central data repository, aggregating and harmonizing data from SAP and non-SAP systems. SAP Leonardo services can ingest this unified data for AI model training and IoT analytics, ensuring consistent, high-quality inputs.
With SAP Leonardo’s AI Foundation and SAP AI Core, machine learning models can be developed and deployed directly on data managed by SAP BW/4HANA. Examples include:
SAP Leonardo’s IoT services enable streaming data from connected devices to be integrated with business data stored in SAP BW/4HANA. This integration supports real-time analytics such as anomaly detection, asset performance management, and process optimization.
Using tools like SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), users can create intuitive dashboards and reports powered by data from SAP BW/4HANA enriched with SAP Leonardo’s AI insights. This empowers business users with self-service analytics and real-time decision support.
The combination of SAP Leonardo and SAP BW/4HANA empowers organizations to harness the full potential of their data. By embedding AI and advanced analytics into a modern data warehouse environment, enterprises can unlock actionable insights, improve business processes, and innovate with confidence.
For businesses invested in SAP technology, adopting advanced analytics through SAP Leonardo and SAP BW/4HANA is a strategic step toward becoming an intelligent enterprise of the future.
