Key Takeaways

  • SAP BW migration is presented as a strategic opportunity to modernize business logic into reusable data products rather than a simple lift-and-shift of data and reports.

  • Adopting a data product–driven, business logic–focused approach enables selective, incremental migration with built-in governance, transparency, and data contracts that reduce risk and improve long-term data quality.

  • One Data’s platform accelerates SAP BW migrations by automating ABAP-to-SQL/Python conversion, mapping dependencies, and making organizations AI-ready on modern platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, or SAP BDC.

Organizations running SAP BW 7.5 or older face an urgent imperative to migrate off a soon-to-be-unsupported platform, but treating this as a technical lift-and-shift leads to expensive projects that replicate existing data chaos on newer systems.

By instead treating SAP BW migration as a chance to modernize and encapsulate business logic into governed, reusable data products, organizations can build an AI-ready data platform that preserves critical intelligence while unlocking new analytical capabilities.
