Typical scenarios for SAP Data Warehouse Cloud

Tight integration of on-prem scenarios (like SAP S/4HANA or SAP

BW/4HANA) by extending on-prem data with cloud data to enhance

models for broader insights

New scenarios: extract, replicate, or federate data from different

sources to create new models

Classic data warehouse use cases that go across business

applications and data sources: model, extract, clean, and map data

from various sources to provide a consistent view of data
