Description

SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) is at the core of SAP’s modern data and analytics strategy, enabling organizations to unify, model, govern, and consume data across SAP and non-SAP landscapes. This comprehensive training program is designed to give learners a complete, end-to-end understanding of SAP Business Data Cloud, from foundational concepts to advanced analytics integration.

The course begins with a clear introduction to SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and positions SAP BDC within the broader SAP data ecosystem, including comparisons with SAP BW/4HANA and SAP Datasphere. Learners gain a strong architectural understanding of SAP BDC, its key components such as Data Fabric, Data Marketplace, and Data Integration, along with connectivity options for both cloud and on-premise systems.

A major focus of the course is data modeling and the business semantic layer. Participants learn how to design fact, dimension, and analytical views, enrich metadata, and prepare models for consumption in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). The course also dives deep into data integration techniques, covering replication flows, data flows, real-time and batch scenarios, and integrations with SAP S/4HANA, BW/4HANA, and third-party systems.

Governance, security, and controlled data sharing are addressed through topics such as metadata management, data lineage, data quality, access control, data masking, and secure collaboration using BDC Spaces. The course further explores SAP Data Marketplace capabilities, enabling external data sharing and monetization use cases.

Finally, learners connect SAP BDC to SAP Analytics Cloud to build dashboards, stories, and predictive insights, while also mastering monitoring, performance optimization, and operational best practices. This course equips professionals with the skills required to confidently design, manage, and scale enterprise-grade data solutions using SAP Business Data Cloud.
