Most SAP leaders are asking the same questions about SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC): Is this the right strategic move? How does it align with our S/4 transformation? And how do we protect the value of what we’ve already built?
In this episode of Lemongrass Roots, Eamonn O’Neill sits down with Mayank Madan, Global Data Practice Lead, to cut through the noise. Drawing on 20+ years of enterprise data experience, from early data warehousing to modern data fabric architectures, Mayank brings a pragmatic, outcomes-first lens to the decisions organizations are making today.
This conversation focuses on what matters to executives:
- Reducing transformation risk when moving to S/4 especially managing thousands of legacy extractors without business disruption
- Reframing the operating model through SAP’s data product approach aligning IT and the business around measurable outcomes
- Avoiding costly rework by getting the BDC architecture and blueprint right from the start
Backed by real customer scenarios, including an FMCG organization managing an 18TB BW landscape, a utilities provider integrating SAP asset data with real-time sensor insights, and a North American manufacturer navigating downstream S/4 impacts, this discussion highlights the tangible trade-offs and decisions leaders need to get right.
If SAP sits at the core of your enterprise, this is a direct, outcome-focused perspective on how to modernize your data strategy without unnecessary risk or wasted investment.
