Yesterday I was at the DSAG TG Datasphere. DSAG is the German SAP user group. The TG Datasphere is a topic group about SAP Datasphere.

Thanks Hakan for the invitation to the Porsche Campus in Zuffenhausen. It is always great to see the campus and all the nice sports cars.

But back to the topic. The agenda was packed with lots of slots, including 3 speed dating project experiences. This approach was cool (for the audience, the speaker has to do the presentation 3
times 😉 ) 

But the first presentation was by Fabian about the
SAP Data & Analytics Strategy. Here we heard all about SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) and the strategy for enterprise data. There was also a detailed answer on how to deal with the old BW in
the Private Cloud Edition (PCE) and what SAP’s approach is here.

Then we had the 3 speed dating sessions. One from Sebastian about a Datasphere reference architecture and some project acceleration tools. The next one was a demonstration of
data products @ Porsche by Hakan. This is also nice,
but I don’t think many customers are there at the moment. 

The last one was a presentation about the future architecture @ BAUER. They showed how to implement a business accounting form within SAP Datasphere. Thanks to Andreas and the team for the insight.

After lunch, Sandy gave us an overview of the best of SAP BW features in SAP
Datasphere. And also how the SAP Business Warehouse is located in the SAP Business Data Cloud. We saw some features like the devolution of variables with a great example and had the opportunity
to discuss missing features and ideas. 

Next was a project experience report from Alena and Anas. They showed how they implemented HR reporting in SAP Datasphere and the challenges they faced

The last slot was covered by Florian with
Data Products and what SAP will do in the future. This sounds interesting, but is still far away from the customers.

All in all, it was an interesting event. Thanks for the organization and also for the opportunity to see familiar faces and have some good conversations.

See you next time
