SAP BDC Roundtable – November

Welcome to the November SAP BDC Roundtable. Meeting on a bi-monthly basis, Mindset hosts a discussion for SAP users from around the world to explore all aspects of SAP BDC.

November Topic: Before the agents, the foundation with guest host, Glen Leslie from SAP.

Whether you are piloting Joule or still sizing the business case, a trusted and governed data foundation is what decides how far your agents get. That is where SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) comes into play, and the questions sound the same from customer to customer:

- How do I get to a modernized data foundation that Business AI can actually use, when what I have today is BW, a side-car HANA, some Datasphere, and a few things nobody owns?

- How do I share data across SAP and non-SAP (Databricks, Snowflake, Fabric) without copying it three times and losing the semantics on the way out?

- What moves, what gets rebuilt, and what do I finally retire? - Where do I start, and what can I prove before I ask for a budget?

- Who owns the data once it lands, and how do I keep it clean?

We will take these on directly in the session, and rather than answer them in the abstract, we will show you the accelerators we use with clients: a Roadmap that sequences the work, Migration that converts code and data, Build that finishes the target state, and Data Governance that holds it together afterward. No theory, just the tools and what they would look like on your SAP landscape.

Free to attend, as long as you bring some great ideas to share!

A Mindset Roundtable is a free-flowing conversation. While we provide the platform, conversation starters, and insight from our experience, the conversation is meant to be for SAP practitioners and those who manage SAP teams and processes.
