Hybrid Data & Analytics Architectural Roadmap

The goal of this offering is to design a hybrid Data & Analytics architecture for clients where SAP is a source and Microsoft Azure Intelligent Data Platform (or parts hereof) is the strategic choice for establishing an Enterprise Data Fabric/Data Platform.

Handling SAP data often poses a challenge due to complex data models, lack of proper connectors, performance and license considerations etc. This assessment is aimed at designing the optimal hybrid Data & Analytics architecture using mainly Microsoft Azure components, while taking all these factors into consideration. The goal is to design an architecture that can extract SAP data and make them available in Microsoft Azure Intelligent Data Platform for further processing, in the most efficient manner. The architecture includes all elements of a modern Data & Analytics architecture from Data Sources, Ingestion, Transformation etc. to Consumption and the architecture will be designed specifically for each client based on their current system landscape and future capability requirements. As part of the assessment, it is also evaluated how the legacy SAP BW can be migrated to Microsoft Azure Intelligent Data Platform to provide a more uniform and modern Data & Analytics architecture.

Finally, this service will also include a roadmap for how the client can implement the new Data & Analytics architecture, step by step.
