2 ways to connect
Live connection is popular, data stays in corporate network
Live does not need to replicate data
Leverage business metadata without additional modeling
Today is about import connection
Today's landscapes are heterogenous
Source: SAP
SAP source or non-SAP source
Connect live or acquired
For all SAP sources, "best in class"
For non SAP data, use smart data integration to access in live scenario
For acquired, goal is to be open
In Blue is what can be connected now
In Q3 introduce import connection to SAP HANA views - connect tables, views and prompts
Source: SAP
3rd party connectors - starting in Q3 to be delivered in a staged delivery; working with cloud partner to up to 150 cloud sources to achieve openness
Source: SAP
Access to 6 new sources
More data sources to come; need to have SAP Cloud Platform Open Connector license
Source: SAP
Planned for Q3 - increased upload limits - 2GB for files
Upload limits will be continually increased; later even higher limits
Source: SAP
Planned for Q3 - export limits increased
Will be increased more in the future
Source: SAP
Plan is to blur the link between live and acquired
Extend connectivity to more sources
Source: SAP
Model first approach; makes BI rigid
In prepare mode, connected to data, prepare it and clean it
In today have different ways to view mode, in card view see data quality, distribution, statistical information on how the data looks
Source: SAP
Can prepare transformations to clean the data
Source: SAP
Can bring columns into rows
Source: SAP
Other data prep options shown above - calculated columns, geo enrichments with coordinates or area names, create hierarchies
History is maintained for transformations, can undo steps
Source: SAP
Prepare with Agility - planned
Get more agility and speed into prep
Combine data from multiple sources - SAP or 3rd party, cloud or on-premise, acquired or remote
