SAP Data Intelligence Cloud has been here for a while. But still, many people don’t have any proper understanding of what it is and how it works. If you are someone like what I was some years ago, you’re probably also wondering why it’s becoming so popular amongst people.
However, I don’t blame you.
As I’ve said before, I didn’t know anything about SAP Data Intelligence Cloud, too, until I used it first-hand. That’s when I started researching more and more about it and garnered a lot more knowledge regarding the same. So, let me tell you what I’ve learned too.
What is SAP Data Intelligence Cloud?
Before I start answering this question, let me tell you about what data intelligence is at first.
In essence, DI is the practice of using machine learning and AI to evaluate your core business system. In addition to this, it can also help you transform all of your datasets into ‘intelligent data insights.’ You can use it later to improve your investments and services. In general, the applications of DI systems and tools can improve your decision-making persona even more.
So, how does SAP Data Intelligence Cloud work?
Well, it does everything that any data intelligence tool offers and even more. For instance, you can use it to store whatever data you are getting and analyze it whenever you want.
Moreover, you can also improve your data assessment efficacy with it. SAP Data Intelligence can allow you to leverage your enterprise applications to become an intelligent enterprise. So you can manage, implement, and process all of your organizational data accordingly.
How Does It Benefit Your Organization?
SDIC is the core cloud equivalent of the on-premises SAP Data Intelligence. It syncs pretty well with the roles of data stewards, data engineers, and data architects.
Essentially, with it, almost any user can increase and maximize the spread of data through various distributed landscapes while creating data warehouses.
However, that’s not where it ends. The benefits of SAP Data Intelligence Cloud go far and beyond the benefits, I explained before. Here’s what you need to know about them.
1: It Can Intelligently Process Data.
With SDIC, you can connect one data asset with another and transform the same into business insights pretty easily. Alongside this, you can also –
- Implement and orchestrate massive amounts of data streams and volumes at scale.
- Connect and discover any data almost anywhere and in any manner you need.
- Operationalize, streamline, and govern different machine-learning-driven innovations.
When you process your data intelligently, it becomes much easier for you to extract data from within and assess them accordingly. Also, thanks to the excellent SAP-based security system, you can prevent your data from getting stolen by a 3rd-party member or organization.
2: It Might Improve Your Internal Procedures.
SAP Data Intelligence Cloud, unlike any other contemporary product, equips you with more than one tool, including the following –
- Data integration (can be used to connect with other data assets and gain intelligent insights to support better decision-making).
- Enterprise data management (with it, unstructured, structured, and streaming data can be transformed into business insights to understand the future of a business).
- Data orchestration (is capable of orchestrating data across any on-premise related and cloud-based deployment accordingly).
- Machine learning (can make your business more productive by improving your overall productivity and maximizing both your business value and innovative persona).
- Data catalog (it’s all about offering excellent data management features and ensuring a more manageable data flow in the future).
So, if you can use these features correctly, it can improve your internal procedures much more efficiently and quickly. However, before you implement the system, it might be better to talk to a consultancy agency and take their help. They are the experts in the industry, after all.
3: It Can Build Trust in Your Data Flow.
With SAP Data Intelligence Cloud, you can discover and catalog all of your metadata in a single place. Therefore, it will be easier for you to create a searchable data fabric and profile the information accordingly.
Furthermore, you can also create a glossary for your business rules to ensure that everyone is following the same. It can also be stored and accessed, no matter where you are – thanks to the flexibility of SDIC.
Finally, it’s also possible to monitor your data through SAP Data Intelligence Cloud. This way, you will know when someone is editing or deleting information from the storage. Also, as it can record the editing history, you can find out who did the edit on the collected data.
How Do You Use SDIC?
SAP Data Intelligence Cloud can be used in more than one way, especially for organizational purposes. These may include the below-mentioned –
1: Data Integration.
With SDIC, you can manage, integrate, and process almost all of your enterprise information in a unified and holistic manner. And in the meantime, you can offer support to the intelligent procedures as well. Furthermore, it can be used for data discovery and integration of the same with your current infrastructure. This way, you’ll be better equipped to collect more data and evaluate them when needed. Also, you can share your findings throughout your organization once you are done with accumulation and assessment.
2: Data Management.
SDIC can also be used to manage unstructured and structured data while keeping them within an advance ETL solution. If you want, you can also transform the data you’ve evaluated and use them accordingly. This, in turn, can help you make faster and better decisions. Moreover, it’ll also be easier for you to orchestrate data from a single location and deploy all of them when it is required the most. You will get support from various processing engines. So there’s no need to be worried about your productivity getting dipped or something as such.
The Final Say!
So, there you go.
Hopefully, I could convey the importance of SDIC to you in an easier and more elaborate manner. However, if you want to learn more regarding the same, it might be best to talk to a consulting service. This way, you can get more information about it while getting help during the implementation process!
Good luck!
