SAP BW customers are facing growing pressure to modernize their data platforms while preserving the significant investments made in data models, business logic, and reporting processes over many years. As organizations look toward SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) as the strategic foundation for future analytics and AI initiatives, many are asking a critical question: How do we evolve beyond traditional BW architectures without a disruptive “big bang” migration?
This webinar provides a pragmatic, step-by-step modernization approach designed specifically for SAP BW customers. You’ll learn how SAP Datasphere serves as the core modernization layer, enabling organizations to transition toward SAP Business Data Cloud in a controlled and strategic way. Rather than replacing BW overnight, this approach allows BW assets to be selectively reused, extended, or gradually retired, while establishing a more flexible, cloud-native data architecture that supports future innovation.
Through real-world modernization scenarios, this session will explore how Datasphere enables organizations to maintain business continuity while improving agility, scalability, and governance. We’ll walk through common BW transition patterns, recommended architectural approaches, and practical considerations around coexistence, data harmonization, and performance optimization.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to move forward at their own pace while aligning with SAP’s long-term data and analytics strategy — turning BW modernization into a structured evolution rather than a risky transformation.
