Fivetran HVR simplifies SAP data transitions leveraging Google Cloud Cortex Framework
Meet the Authors
Key Takeaways
⇨ Organizations can enhance their SAP data processes by leveraging the Google Cloud Cortex Framework, which provides AI-driven data solutions like pre-built architectures, integration services, and dashboards for cost reduction and improved customer experiences.
⇨ Before utilizing this framework, businesses must migrate their critical data to a cloud environment like BigQuery, where Fivetran HVR plays a key role in simplifying SAP data replication through real-time analytics and log-based change data capture (CDC).
⇨ This combination of Fivetran HVR and the Cortex Framework allows companies to efficiently sync data, surface insights, and scale operations with minimal risk.
For organizations looking to reorganize, restructure or enhance their SAP data processes, a framework of dedicated AI and data solutions can help businesses reduce costs, boost revenue, transform customer experiences and drive more intelligent marketing strategies.
Organizations can turn to the Google Cloud Cortex Framework, a tool that enables businesses to design, build and deploy data and AI solutions. The Framework includes reference architectures, packages solution deployment content, integration services, pre-built data models and dashboards and extensible data foundation and reference architecture. However, before a company can utilize the Cortex Framework, organizations must move their business-critical data into a place where it can easily leverage cloud analytical services.
To aid organizations during its implementation phase, Fivetran HVR, a Google Cloud Cortex Framework foundational partner, is a solution that supports and manages high-volume data, making the implementation phase efficient.
Fivetran, a cloud-based data movement platform, specializes in providing organizations with real-time analytics, database replications, AI workflows and cloud migrations. Having closed its acquisition of HVR in 2021, Fivetran HVR simplifies the process of SAP data replication into BigQuery, Google’s serverless warehouse. Fivetran HVR creates tables using compatible data types and the initial data loading and subsequent incremental updates take advantage of best practices to efficiently process changes without putting a strain on the source database.
Following data extraction, Fivetran HVR enables teams to keep data in sync by replicating changes asynchronously, with no direct impact on ERP transactions. To accomplish this, Fivetran HVR deploys log-based change data capture (CDC), widely considered to be the least intrusive method for tracking incremental database changes with no loss of data.
For SAP ERP solutions, Fivetran HVR supports log-based CDC for databases running SAP, decoding of cluster, pool and long-text tables, full support for custom z-tables and columns, module-based table selection and connectivity both through SAP NetWeaver or with direct database-level access.
Organizations moving their SAP data into BigQuery using Fivetran HVR, can benefit from the immediate start of data analysis and surfacing insights leveraging Cortex Framework. Providing scalability and combining low-risk models, BigQuery and Google Cloud Cortex Framework provide value for companies wanting to leverage their SAP data.
