As a partner, I believe the biggest advantage in the product is that SAP context is maintained. If I don't use SAP Business Data Cloud and I bring SAP data outside to a hyperscaler data lake, I lose the SAP context. Here, SAP context is maintained, and that is the biggest advantage. Additionally, SAP has standard APIs for integrating SAP Business Data Cloud with all SAP products, so I get out-of-the-box dashboards, which means out-of-the-box content, and the APIs are pre-delivered by SAP. The product helps to eliminate silos between agents with a shared understanding of the business. SAP Business Data Cloud has a unique feature called Delta Share. For customers who have partial data inside SAP and some data outside SAP, they don't need to replicate the same data twice. I can share whatever is already there in SAP Business Data Cloud with hyperscalers and vice versa. If I have some data in Amazon and some data in SAP Business Data Cloud, I can share both of the data with each other bi-directionally, which prevents silos. The concept of Universal Business Context capability in the product helps to maintain data meaning and relationships across systems. Context is maintained through Data Sphere, which is part of SAP Business Data Cloud, where I can maintain new entity relationships. There is also a feature called knowledge graph, where I can add my own semantics on top of it. SAP Business Data Cloud has SAP BDC Connect for data integration, which enables the sharing and Delta Sharing of data that I mentioned. The product has support for AI and ML, which helps with integrations to Snowflake or Databricks. Inside SAP Business Data Cloud, I don't have the AI or the machine learning part, but it uses that as a joint offering via Snowflake's machine learning capabilities or Databricks capabilities, or I can reuse hyperscaler capabilities like Amazon, Azure, and Google. I share the data using Connect, and then I run machine learning and pass back the results. SAP Business Data Cloud includes SAP Analytics Cloud, which is very similar to Tableau and Power BI. The analytical agility feature in the product does impact my ability to work efficiently. Data Product Studio helps to build and manage data products. SAP has been releasing data products from their side, and I can install and activate these data products using the studio. It is created as a plug and play. I can go and select the data product and activate it, which activates end-to-end the entire pipeline, making it fast. I use SAP BDC Connect with all new partners like Snowflake, Google, and Microsoft. Every version comes out, and today, it is only available for Databricks. By June, I will get Azure and Snowflake, and by October, I will get Google, with every quarter a new partnership being announced. I use integration between SAP HANA Cloud and SAP Business Data Cloud, but that is the standard integration available between all SAP products, not just HANA Cloud. I can get integration with even the LOB solutions of SAP like Ariba.
