TRANSFORMING YOUR ORGANIZATION WITH EXPERT INSIGHTS Major trends are driving a new generation on data warehousing. Digital organizations need to become agile to take advantage of new opportunities and stay ahead of your competition. Line-of-business groups are also asking IT to turn new solutions around in days, not months.
Next-Generation Data Warehouse Is Essential The analyst groups SAP works with agree that a new approach to data warehouses is essential. The need for data warehouses is not going away, but a new generation of data warehousing is required.
The pressure is growing on IT departments to handle more data, more flexibly. Users have great expectations for features and functions that exemplify a substantial expansion of existing enterprise data warehouse strategies.

Preconfigured deployment to SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (with other cloud deployment options to follow) adds elasticity and more price/performance options. So customers of SAP BW/4HANA gain a highly flexible landscape management solution competitive in the marketplace.
Modern Data WarehouseYou can efficiently discover data resources using SAP BW/4HANA, which provides these competencies:
• Advances SAP’s vision of the modern data warehouse to address new types and locations of data from your SAP applications or other sources
• Supports the trend of analyzing data in situ to minimize movement and duplication of data, including data lakes and data in motion
• Delivers real-time flexibility and overcomes data silos through sophisticated data temperature management and compression to help tune your data for both results and cost

NEXT-GENERATION DATA WAREHOUSE REQUIREMENTS ENABLEDSAP BW/4HANA addresses the next generation of use cases that deliver new opportunities and competitive value for your organization: • Operational reporting, incorporated into SAP S/4HANA, delivers real-time analytics instead of overnight reporting, making the traditional data warehouse (DW) approach redundant.
• SAP BW/4HANA enables the logical data warehouse (LDW) to aggregate many data sources into a single view.
• SAP BW/4HANA provides this single view without incurring the cost and time involved in moving data and multiple copies of the same data, unlike traditional DWs.
SAP BW/4HANA fits as an essential part of a distributed or edge analytics model required to handle the massive growth of streaming data coming from the Internet of Things. As such, SAP BW/4HANA delivers real-time analytics that can impact every part of your organization within a few years.

SAP BW/4HANA EFFICIENTLY INTEGRATES NON-SAP DATA SAP BW/4HANA can harness and use non-SAP data more effectively than before. We move away from the old SAP-centric DW to a more open DW with new, exciting capabilities to manage data from all types of sources.
You can bring non-SAP data into SAP BW/4HANA through the application or using SAP HANA, and extract, transform, and load (ETL). Or access it virtually in real time – and all this is possible using a runtime license for SAP HANA.
SAP HANA enables SAP BW/4HANA import of non-SAP data through flat files. Streaming, virtual access, and real-time replication of non-SAP data requires SAP HANA, limited runtime edition for applications, or full-use licenses for SAP HANA.

CONSOLIDATE ALL DATA INTO ONE: PHASED APPROACH TO NEXT-GENERATION DATA WAREHOUSEMove from a typical DW system landscape at customers’ sites today – with a combination of SAP BW for SAP data and an enterprise data warehouse (EDW) for non-SAP data – to a single source of truth across SAP and non-SAP data.
Replace SAP BW with SAP BW/4HANA now, while absorbing data from your existing EDW.
Over time you can decide to phase out your existing EDW, if needed.
From today:
To the future:

Path 2: Convert Your System • Complete conversion of an existing SAP BW system to SAP BW/4HANA.
• Check if your current SAP landscape has been highly maintained (SAP BW powered by SAP HANA): then, you most likely can convert to SAP BW/4HANA in just a few steps.
Path 3*: Simplification for Faster Business Value • Ideal for large enterprises with many instances of SAP and non–SAP BW systems
• Consolidation into one global SAP BW/4HANA solution or selective data migrations
CHOOSING YOUR PATH TO SAP BW/4HANAAt SAP, we realize our customers are starting their journey to a modern data warehouse from different places. That’s why we have created distinct paths, complete with distinct services and tools, to help you achieve your goals in the most direct fashion, with the least disruption.
Path 1: New to SAP or Ready for a Fresh Start • Bring data from your old system to SAP BW/4HANA with our integrated data management and quality tools.
• Check if the design of your current SAP landscape is more than five years old: if so, it’s time to consider a fresh start.
• Leverage a modern data warehouse, without modifica-tions or work-arounds of the past.
