Power BI Out-of-the-Box Solution for SAP ECC Analytics

Prepare to revolutionize your SAP ECC implementation with the incredible power of the Power BI "Out-of-the-Box"! Elevate your business analytics and seize control of your data like never before.

Connection

The "Out-of-the-Box" solution centralizes all your data into a single platform, enabling you to seamlessly combine and analyze information for real-time insights into your organization’s business performance.

The platform automatically transforms data from SAP ECC into a unified Data Model, creating a single source of truth. This model is then used to generate interactive dashboards, graphs, and reports, providing a visual layer that improves data accessibility and clarity. End-users can leverage this Data Model with self-service capabilities to further create custom dashboards as needed. Built on your tenant and integrated with Power BI, this solution allows you to easily manage changes to structures, mappings, dashboards, user access, and more.

Integration through different SAP data connectors

SAP provides various methods for supplying data to a data lakehouse. The solution integrates data using SAP Datasphere replication flows, the Azure Data Factory SAP Table or the SAP HANA Connector. The solution also seamlessly integrates with third-party solutions such as Qlik, Fivetran or Theobald.

About SAP ECC

SAP ECC is an on-premise enterprise resource planning system that integrates various business processes, including finance, supply chain, and human resources, to provide a unified view of organizational operations. SAP has announced that mainstream support for SAP ECC 6.0 Enhancement Pack 5 and earlier versions will end in 2025, while support for Enhancement Packs 6 to 8 will continue until 2027. To ensure continued support and access to the latest features, businesses are encouraged to plan their transition to SAP S/4HANA, SAP's next-generation ERP suite. 

Migrate from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA or other ERP's

Our "Out-of-the-Box" solution simplifies the migration from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, ensuring a smooth transition. During migration, our solution ensures reporting continuity, so business operations and decision-making remain unaffected. By avoiding full data migration and storing historical data in a secure layer, we reduce complexity, time, and cost of the migration. Additionally, this approach allows for the decommissioning of SAP ECC, eliminating the need to maintain outdated legacy systems while ensuring access to critical historical data. Additionally, we integrate new data from SAP S/4HANA into the same data model, eliminating the need to change existing dimensions or reports.

Connect with SAP ecosystem

Our solution seamlessly integrates with all SAP systems, allowing you to manage data from multiple platforms in one centralized system. Whether you're using SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, SAP ECC, SAP EWM or other SAP solutions, our platform consolidates all your data for a unified and comprehensive view of your business performance. From legacy SAP ERP versions to the latest SAP S/4HANA(on prem, public or private cloud), we ensure smooth connectivity across your entire SAP landscape. Connect your SAP data effortlessly with other data sources to create a complete 360° view of your company’s information.
