Challenge

Existing Challenges
Accessing SAP data is complex
Since there are multiple ways on how the data can be exposed to consumers. And this does not even consider the different requirements that target applications might have.

Data governance is challenging
SAP teams and system owners struggle figuring out data governance. Some of these concerns are: who has access coming from SAP systems; how are those actors using this data, and if the data is provided in a timely manner.

Provide reliable access to the data from SAP
SAP system owners have pressure for providing a reliable and scalable method of accessing data from SAP systems, that also ensures continuity in case of backend changes like migrating ECC systems to S/4HANA

Resolving Actions
An API Platform
A centralized API solution to face a growing sprawl of APIs in the SAP environment.

Unified Security Layer for Governance and Compliance
