BDC Roundtable – October

Welcome to the October SAP BDC Roundtable. BDC Roundtable is where SAP folks come to figure out Business Data Cloud together. It started in January 2026, right as BDC was landing in real environments, and runs every other month. SAP Mentor Ethan Jewett hosts, along with Expert guests. It's a conversation, not a presentation. Hope to see you there.

Also worth noting: I've been dropping em-dashes out of these drafts per your style rules, so if you paste from anywhere else, check for strays.

October Topic: Coming Soon

About This Roundtable:SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) is reshaping how organizations unify, govern, and activate their SAP and non-SAP data, but the fundamentals can get lost in the hype. This roundtable strips away the buzzwords and gets back to what actually matters: what BDC is, how it works, and what it means for your data strategy.
In this 90-minute working session, we'll cover the foundational concepts every team needs before committing to a BDC roadmap. Expect candid discussion, real-world context, and room for your questions — this is a conversation, not a pitch.

What you'll learn:

What BDC actually is — how it fits alongside SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud, and Databricks, and how it differs from the data platforms you may already be running.

The core building blocks — data products, intelligent applications, the foundation services, and how governed data flows through the architecture.

Unifying SAP and non-SAP data — how BDC brings together data across your landscape without the brittle, custom integration work of the past

The role of data products — why this packaging model changes how business and technical teams collaborate
How BDC connects to AI — the link between a governed data foundation and reliable, business-ready AI (including Joule and SAP Business AI).
