Modernising analytics beyond S/4HANA

About this webinar:

For many organisations, S/4HANA transformation is only the beginning.

As decades of data are selectively migrated to control rising infrastructure and OPEX costs, the analytics landscape often becomes more complex – not less. Legacy SAP BW systems, BW/4HANA, Datasphere, Databricks, Business Data Cloud (BDC), and other data platforms can quickly expand into a fragmented environment with duplicated logic, unclear ownership, and rising spend.

In this session, we explore the analytics transformation that follows – or runs in parallel with – your S/4HANA journey.

We’ll discuss how to modernise your analytics architecture without creating platform sprawl, how to retain critical historical reporting, and how to build a data foundation that genuinely enables AI.

In this session, we explore:

• What happens to SAP BW and BW/4HANA during S/4HANA transitions
• The impact of selective data migration on historical reporting
• Managing decades of SAP data without escalating storage costs
• When to rebuild, rationalise or retire BW environments
• SAP Datasphere, Databricks and BDC – strategy versus sprawl
• Preserving trusted business reporting during platform change
• Designing an analytics architecture that supports future AI initiatives

Who is it for?

• SAP data and analytics leaders
• BW and BW/4HANA architects
• Enterprise architects
• CIOs and IT transformation leads
• Organisations planning AI or advanced analytics initiatives post-S/4HANA

If you’re responsible for balancing cost control, reporting continuity, and AI enablement, this session will help you approach the next phase with clarity and confidence.
