and additional solutions continually integrated. What was originally intended to drive digitalisation often has the opposite effect today: a complex and confusing IT and data landscape. For many companies, the question is therefore not only which technology is suitable for what, but above all how everything works together effectively.<\/p><p>At the same time, the volume of available data is growing rapidly. Production data, financial metrics, customer data and supply chain information are now generated almost in real time. These are ideal conditions for data-driven decision-making and the use of artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, this potential often remains untapped because data is scattered across different systems and is difficult to consolidate.<\/p><p>This is precisely where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/en\/solutions\/sap-business-data-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC)<\/a> comes in.

It brings together data from SAP and non-SAP systems on a central platform, creates a unified and trustworthy data foundation, and makes this data available for modern analytics and AI scenarios. The platform is therefore aimed at companies whose existing data landscapes no longer meet the requirements of modern applications.<\/p><p>Put simply, the SAP Business Data Cloud can be described as a data layer between business applications and analytics and AI applications. It acts as a central intermediary between operational business processes and data-driven innovations. Business applications generate the relevant corporate data, which is connected, harmonised and managed by the Business Data Cloud. Based on this consolidated data foundation, analytics and AI applications can generate reports, derive forecasts and support intelligent automation.<\/p><p>One important point is often misunderstood: SAP Business Data Cloud is not a single product. Instead, it is a <strong>platform<\/strong> that combines a range of SAP technologies. Depending on their requirements, organisations can implement different components and expand their platform step by step. This means they do not need to build a complete target architecture from the outset. Instead, they can start with a small, clearly defined use case and extend the platform as their business needs evolve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9a2249 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f9a2249\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf8d8cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bf8d8cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Business-Data-Cloud-Verdana.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Business Data Cloud Verdana\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA5OTQ5LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3LnBpa29uLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNlwvMDhcL0J1c2luZXNzLURhdGEtQ2xvdWQtVmVyZGFuYS5wbmcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Business-Data-Cloud-Verdana-1024x709.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-109949\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Business-Data-Cloud-Verdana-1024x709.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Business-Data-Cloud-Verdana-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Business-Data-Cloud-Verdana-768x532.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Business-Data-Cloud-Verdana-600x416.png 600w, https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Business-Data-Cloud-Verdana.png 1240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4323f67 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4323f67\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c92208c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c92208c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With the introduction of SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP has also refined the positioning of its platform strategy.

A data architecture defines the structural framework of an organisation&#8217;s data landscape. It determines how data is collected, moved, stored, secured and made available for use. This includes data models, standards, policies, storage technologies, security and governance.<\/p><p>Traditionally, organisations have adopted a variety of architectural approaches to manage their data. <strong>Data lakes<\/strong> for large volumes of structured and unstructured data, <strong>data warehouses<\/strong> for centralised analytics, <strong>data marts<\/strong> for the departments, <strong>data mesh<\/strong> for decentralised data ownership, and <strong>data fabric<\/strong> for connecting distributed data landscapes. Each of these approaches addresses different requirements and offers its own strengths.<\/p><p>With Business Data Cloud, SAP has chosen the <strong>data fabric<\/strong> <strong>approach<\/strong>. A data fabric is designed to connect data regardless of where it is physically stored. This means data does not have to be copied into a central database. Instead, different data sources are intelligently connected and managed through a common layer. As a result, users experience what appears to be a single, unified data platform, even though the underlying information may remain in multiple systems. Existing SAP and non SAP systems can therefore continue to operate without disruption.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">However, SAP takes this concept a step further with <strong>Business Data Fabric<\/strong>. The key difference lies in the business context. The objective is not simply to connect data from a technical perspective, but also to preserve business logic, relationships, hierarchies, key figures and calculations. SAP describes this as preserving the <strong>&#8220;DNA of the data&#8221;<\/strong>. Common governance rules, shared metadata and consistent business definitions ensure that different departments work with the same information. This significantly reduces discussions about which key figure represents the &#8220;correct&#8221; version of the truth.<\/p><p>This approach is particularly valuable for AI applications. Modern AI models require more than just large volumes of data, they need data that they can understand. Business Data Fabric provides exactly this foundation by connecting data sources, maintaining data lineage and enriching business processes with semantic context.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a56d9eb e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a56d9eb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c78c98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8c78c98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Design Principles<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3268f95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3268f95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>SAP BDC can be characterised by a number of <strong>design principles<\/strong>:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Ready to Use Analytical Content:<\/strong> SAP BDC delivers analytical content through Intelligent Applications. These applications provide data rich dashboards with real time data and built in AI capabilities. Business users can ask questions in natural language and receive not only direct answers, but also additional insights into potential relationships and patterns.<\/li><li><strong>Data Product Economy:<\/strong> Data is no longer treated as raw tables, but as reusable data products. A data product is cleansed, enriched, packaged and complemented with metadata. It is business ready and can be used for analytics or AI with minimal preparation. SAP provides certified, ready to use data products based on SAP applications. In addition, organisations can create their own customer data products by combining organisation specific information from SAP and non SAP sources for tailored analytics and AI use cases.<\/li><li><strong>One Domain Model:<\/strong> Many SAP applications contain similar business objects but define them differently. For example, an object may be referred to as a <em>Material<\/em> in one system and as a <em>Product<\/em> in another. SAP Business Data Cloud harmonises these definitions within a shared domain model, allowing business users to work with consistent business objects without needing to know which source system they originate from.<\/li><li><strong>Open Data Ecosystem:<\/strong> SAP recognises that most organisations operate more than just SAP systems. Business Data Cloud therefore supports partner platforms and bidirectional data exchange. This is particularly important for AI and machine learning projects, which typically require comprehensive datasets from both SAP and non SAP sources.<\/li><li><strong>Delta Sharing and Zero Copy:<\/strong> SAP Business Data Cloud uses Delta Sharing as an open standard for sharing live data without creating unnecessary copies. The data remains under the governance of SAP Business Data Cloud and is made available only to authorised consumers.<\/li><li><strong>Storage at Scale:<\/strong> SAP Business Data Cloud uses a lakehouse architecture based on SAP HANA Data Lake.
