Introduction

 

The transition to the cloud has become increasingly attractive in recent years for companies looking for a better, more flexible, and cost-effective infrastructure. For on-premise SAP BW customers, the SAP BW PCE "lift and shift" in SAP Business Data Cloud is a crucial solution to facilitate this transition. Migrate your existing BW on premise system and fully utilize it with new Cloud possibilities from Business Data Cloud like Datasphere and SAP Databricks. On top of that: no need to purchase a BW/4HANA license when going to BW/4HANA PCE; instead, a monthly fee can be paid for the utilized service. Want to keep running BW 7.5, also a possibility.


 

The crucial role of SAP BW PCE

 

The SAP BW PCE serves as a seamless interface between the traditional on-premise SAP BW system and the cloud-based SAP BDC solution. This is critical for on-premise SAP BW customers, as it enables them to gradually and securely move their existing data and objects to the cloud without major disruptions to their business processes.

SAP BW PCE allows for the integration of existing data and objects with Business Data Cloud via the BW Product Generator, enabling businesses to adapt their infrastructure at their own pace.

 

 

Interdobs and the migration to the cloud

The Interdobs approach

 

One of the key features of the Interdobs approach is the selective migration of data and objects. Instead of adopting an all-or-nothing approach, Interdobs first identifies which data and objects are truly important for the business and then focuses on migrating only those elements to the cloud. This ensures a targeted and cost-efficient migration, allowing businesses to get the most value from their investment in the cloud. In order to do that, we created our very own analysis cockpit, the BW PCE Optimizer.


Our comprehensive analysis identifies everything from empty objects to dormant data, and even the intricacies of lookups in various routines. It's migration, but with intelligence at its core.

Also for the for those venturing into the SAP Analytics Cloud, Interdobs' Kickstarter proposition is a beacon. We've carved a path that not only simplifies the transition but amplifies the benefits of the cloud.

For on-premise SAP BW customers, SAP BW PCE in SAP Business Data Cloud is an essential solution to facilitate the transition to the cloud and take advantage of the many benefits that cloud solutions offer.
