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
