Questions, answered.

A fully managed SaaS service from SAP that unifies data from SAP and third-party sources on one scalable platform, keeping the business context that makes the data usable for AI.
No. BDC Horizon maps those platforms to SAP’s One Domain Model and recommends federation or replication workload by workload, so existing investments keep working.
Conversion agents turn BW queries, flows and BOBJ reports into BDC data products and SAC stories, and validation agents reconcile every number before anything is switched off.
Yes. Pre-migration data product bundles bring BDC value to customers still on ECC or on-premises, recommended from the BDC Horizon estate assessment.
