1 SAP Brief SAP Data Hub Embark on Your Data Management Journey with Confidence

2 SAP Brief Managing data operations across your complex IT landscape Proliferation of any kind of data presents a wealth of opportunities for the organizations that have the visibility and control required to make the most of it. By applying sophisticated, comprehensive data operations (DataOps) management, organizations like yours can orchestrate data from a variety of systems and storages. You can gain competitive advantages and business value from combining refined Big Data with enterprise data and corporate master data. Managing data operations across your complex IT landscape As the volume and variety of information increases, so does the complexity of corporate data and technology landscapes. At the same time, information and process disconnects and data silos can make it costly and difficult to get value out of the data or achieve enterprise insight. It doesn t have to be this way. A total DataOps management strategy can help you connect disparate data sources and systems, get a deeper understanding of the data, and uncover insights. Metadata and DataOps management helps you overcome boundaries between Big Data and enterprise data, accelerate and repair the flow of information among different systems, and resolve data quality issues and friction points. By building information pipelines throughout and beyond the enterprise, you can work across silos, enhancing your data agility. By increasing the depth and breadth of your visibility and control across the data landscape, you can act quickly to seize opportunities and respond to data security threats. 2 / 9

3 SAP Brief Controlling and orchestrating data flows The SAP Data Hub solution unifies data orchestration, pipelining, and governance functionality, integrating information from all types of sources and enabling agile data sharing and data-driven processes. Unified monitoring and management functionality lets you control, share, and distribute data across the software landscape. It gives you smooth connectivity to data lakes and enterprise sources such as business warehouses, data marts, and enterprise applications, whether the information is stored on premise or in the cloud. An intuitive data console helps data stewards spot new sources of value and resolve data problems. Sophisticated landscape management functionality enables you to create and manage zones of distributed data, data sources and systems, and connections and access points unifying control and increasing visibility. You can build unified workflows and task workflows with the solution including data pipelines, file operations, and flow graphs. And you can orchestrate multiple tasks, execute tasks in a given order, and create graphic models. Engage process chains from the SAP Business Warehouse application, flow graphs from the SAP HANA business data platform, and activities in SAP Data Services software and SAP Predictive Analytics software.

4 SAP Brief SAP Data Hub harnesses the power of massive distributed data processing to create data pipelines built for serverless computing. You can define processing steps centrally and deploy computations to where data resides such as data lakes, data warehouses or marts, and enterprise applications reducing manual steps and significantly accelerating and scaling up data projects. The solution enables you to process data and reuse existing code and libraries through data pipelines consisting of several predefined operations. With SAP Data Hub, you can access connectors to different messaging systems and databases, and to systems that store and read data. You can manipulate data with scripting languages and use process operators to execute code and operators for type conversion with drag-and-drop functionality in a visual interface. You can add machine learning and image-processing functions and customized operators for the data pipelines. By scheduling data pipelines in large cluster environments, you can handle batch-driven and streaming jobs in a single environment. With SAP Data Hub, you can apply unified processing logic for data from any source in the cloud, on premise, and in enterprise and Big Data systems.
