SAP BDC (Business Data Cloud) is considered a game changer for SAP’s data portfolio because it fundamentally changes how SAP data is unified, governed, and consumed for analytics and AI. Instead of data being locked inside individual SAP systems, BDC turns SAP into an open, business-ready data platform.
For many years, SAP data was difficult to use. Data lived in different SAP systems such as ECC, S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, and Ariba. Companies had to move data into SAP BW or BW/4HANA to analyze it. This process was slow, costly, and complex.
