Description
The SAP Data Warehouse Cloud (SAP Datasphere) course offers a comprehensive, hands-on learning experience tailored to data professionals and business users navigating enterprise analytics in the cloud era. This course begins with foundational concepts of cloud-native data warehousing and provides a clear comparison between SAP Data Warehouse Cloud (now known as SAP Datasphere) and traditional solutions like SAP BW/4HANA. Learners will explore how SAP Datasphere unifies data access, modeling, and business logic by leveraging key components such as Spaces, Connections, the Data Builder, Business Builder, and Story Builder, all within the context of the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
Through real-world use cases, students will understand the business benefits of adopting SAP DWC, including agility, real-time access, and federation without data duplication. The course dives into DWC’s multi-layered architecture and resource management through Spaces, explaining the roles of the data integration layer, semantic layer, and business modeling layer. Federation vs. replication strategies, security foundations, and compliance practices are also covered in depth to ensure governance and trust.
In the integration module, learners will configure connections to SAP systems (S/4HANA, BW, ECC), as well as non-SAP sources such as databases, APIs, and flat files. Best practices for real-time vs. batch ingestion and virtualization using Smart Data Access are explored. Learners build data models using both graphical and SQL views in the Data Builder, construct relationships, and define hierarchies, calculated measures, and semantic tags for business understanding and performance optimization.
The course also includes advanced modules on exposing data to SAP Analytics Cloud, predictive modeling with SAP AI Core, integration with SAP Data Intelligence, and multi-cloud deployment across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Who this course is for:
- SAP Consultants (BW, HANA, ECC, S/4HANA) aiming to transition into SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP BTP roles.
- Data Analysts and BI Professionals
- Business Analysts and Functional Consultants who want to understand how to build end-to-end analytics using SAP data.
- Data Engineers and Integration Specialists responsible for connecting SAP and non-SAP systems, pipelines, and real-time data flows.
- Enterprise Architects designing modern, scalable, multi-cloud analytics landscapes across SAP and third-party environments.
- Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations Teams
- IT Managers and Digital Transformation Leaders modernizing legacy warehouse systems like SAP BW/4HANA or on-premise data warehouses.
- Students and Early-Career Professionals
- Organizations moving to the cloud, including RISE with SAP customers, who require a strong foundation in SAP’s unified data strategy.
