Abstract
All businesses today focus on making quick and accurate business decisions. They use data generated by IT systems to analyze and make business decisions. ERP systems generate data from various business functions in an enterprise and provide very valuable data. SAP is one of the market leaders in ERP, and businesses from all sectors have implemented SAP as their ERP system. Currently, S/4 HANA is the ERP system offered by SAP. Datawarehouse has become a very important tool for storing enterprise data and providing valuable insights to businesses. Traditionally data warehouse was offered as an on-premises solution for business analytics, e.g. Teradata and Oracle BI. SAP also offered SAP BW as an on-premise data warehouse.
With the increase in data footprint, the cost and performance of the data warehouse became key pain points. In memory computing and cloud computing were the technologies which addressed these pain points. Various cloud computing vendors such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and many more started providing cloud base data warehouse solutions. SAP also developed SAP HANA for in-memory computing and provided SAP BW and SAP Enterprise HANA as Datawarehouse on the cloud but not Datawarehouse as a service. SAP introduced the Datawarehouse cloud in 2019, which was rebranded as SAP Datasphere in 2023 and is a solution by SAP which is offered as Datawarehouse as a service.
This paper evaluates SAP Datasphere as a cloud Datawarehouse that can store and analyze data in the cloud. One big differentiator for SAP Datasphere is that it is a solution that is business user-oriented and enables business experts to make decisions. The positioning of SAP Datasphere as compared to other SAP analytics solutions is also explained in this paper.
