E3 Category: Smart & Big Data Integration

Two buzzwords dominate the SAP scene: big data and integration—which should of course be handled intelligently. However, due to the variety of tools and concepts available, this can be a challenge for SAP customers.

In the past, there were different approaches to using self-service in reporting. These solutions were subsequently implemented in the existing product.
A clear cloud-only trend has been evident in SAP's strategy for some time. The SaaS application Data Warehouse Cloud (DWC) plays a central role in this - so the future of analytics with SAP is predetermined.
In a data warehouse, the data is stored in a relational database. This is expensive and accordingly there are products from the Big Data world that start here. Parquet, Hive, SAP Vora and Exasol are the best-known representatives in the SAP environment.
What exactly is meant by the term Big Data? Does Big Data simply mean mass data, i.e. "lots of data" in the data warehouse? Or is Big Data a replacement for the data warehouse?
Many companies are just starting out with Big Data. They have initial ideas. The potential is being explored. SAP also has different approaches to the topic, depending on which department you talk to.
Big Data is a big topic, but the multitude of possibilities is overwhelming. Every software provider comes up with different products and different goals. I would like to bring some structure into this jungle and make it easier to get started.
