ASUG CEO & Chief Com­mu­ni­ty Cham­pi­on Geoff Scott trav­eled to New York for the SAP Busi­ness Unleashed event, where SAP unveiled its newest offer­ing, SAP Busi­ness Data Cloud, and its part­ner­ship with Data­bricks, a data ana­lyt­ics and man­age­ment soft­ware com­pa­ny.

Dur­ing his trip, Scott sat down with Irfan Khan, Pres­i­dent and Chief Prod­uct Offi­cer of SAP Data & Ana­lyt­ics. They dis­cussed SAP’s new offer­ing and part­ner­ship, and how these announce­ments will help enter­pris­es devel­op a data foun­da­tion for busi­ness insights and arti­fi­cial-intel­li­gence applications. 

Key top­ics from their con­ver­sa­tion included: 

• How SAP Busi­ness Data Cloud is dif­fer­ent from SAP Datasphere. 
• The way SAP Busi­ness Data Cloud will sit in the SAP suite along­side appli­ca­tions such as the SAP Busi­ness Tech­nol­o­gy Plat­form (BTP) and SAP Ana­lyt­ics Cloud.
• The impor­tance of inte­grat­ing SAP and non-SAP data into a sin­gle data layer.
