The evolution of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, it underpins analytics, planning, and AI on a unified data layer.
SAP Datasphere is a cloud service for managing enterprise data, delivered on SAP Business Technology Platform. It provides capabilities to integrate, catalog, model, and virtualize data from both SAP and non-SAP sources, with the goal of creating a business data fabric: a unified, semantically rich data layer that preserves the meaning and relationships of SAP business data rather than flattening it into disconnected tables.
Datasphere is the evolution of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and forms a core part of SAP's data strategy, more recently as a component of SAP Business Data Cloud. It offers spaces for governed data modeling, data integration and replication, a catalog for governance, and the ability to combine warehoused and federated data. It connects closely with SAP Analytics Cloud for consumption in dashboards, planning, and predictive scenarios.
For organizations, Datasphere aims to reduce the effort of extracting and re-modeling SAP data for analytics by keeping business semantics intact and by partnering with third-party data platforms. Realizing that value depends on well-designed integration to source systems such as S/4HANA and BW/4HANA, sound data governance, and reliable operations, all of which rest on a solid underlying SAP and platform foundation.
