Scenario

SAP data, finally where you need it.

SAP BW, SAP HANA and SAP Business One are among the platform's strongest sources. Read them live — in Excel, Power BI or an AI assistant — governed at the source.

  • SAP BW/HANA/B1 live
  • Combine with non-SAP
  • Survive S/4HANA
A real situation
We're moving to S/4HANA and every department is afraid for its reports.

With Virtual Data Platform, datasets bind to a System Line, not a system: add S/4HANA next to the old system and validate by switching at runtime — same report, old vs new, side by side. When the numbers match, flip the default.

Migration becomes a configuration change, and validation becomes a dropdown — not a project.

  • System Lines
  • SAP
  • S/4HANA

See it

Read an SAP source with the same dataset address as anything else — and move to S/4HANA by switching systems at runtime.

Excel
=VDP.GetData("Sales", "SAP_BW_OpenOrders", "plant=Graz")

The same address whether the source is SAP BW, SAP HANA or Business One.

One System Line — validate old vs new, switch at runtime

ECC (today)

Datasets run against the system in production now.

S/4HANA (next)

Add it to the line and run the same report side by side. When the numbers match, flip the line's default.

Workbooks, dashboards and scripts stay untouched.

What it changes

  • Retire BEx and Analysis for Office — parameterised queries and cell-driven parameters in one modern add-in.

  • Combine SAP with non-SAP data in one Model, and publish the same dataset to Power BI or an AI assistant.

  • SAP BW, SAP HANA and SAP Business One as live, governed sources.

See your own data live in 30 minutes.

Start with a live demo — we'll show your use case in Excel, Power BI, R, or through an AI assistant. Then take it further with a free trial in your own isolated tenant.
