SAP Data Warehouse Cloud – introducing Content Network and Data Marketplace

SAP Data Warehouse Cloud (SAP DWC), another solution from the SAP product portfolio, which I have already introduced in one of my previous articles, doesn’t cease to amaze with its powerful capabilities. Our team is currently exploring the benefits of Content Network and the conclusions are very positive.

What is Content Network and what benefits does it bring?

Content Network is a great resource to help users get started with SAP DWC. It offers ready-to-run preconfigurations, significantly accelerating the design process. The obtained content can include predefined models based on SAP systems sources and from entirely independent, unrelated solutions from SAP. In addition, it also contains useful templates for exploring SAP Data Warehouse Cloud functionality. Content Network can, of course, be linked to the user’s own data, which is crucial, allowing them to run the complete solution on their data system.

Data Marketplace as a strategic element of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud

The Data Marketplace is a platform that both partners and customers can use as data providers. One partner can contribute with valuable marketing input. At the same time, another one can use it to enhance their own data sets and customer analytics, whether the data is standalone or coming from SAP enterprise applications.

This cutting-edge platform gives an outsider’s perspective on an issue and allows active participation in making certain business decisions. This need is reflected in the growing number of relevant external data sources used by customers, their increasing importance, and their accessibility within the platform. This innovative approach encourages partner companies to commit to data sharing, which is critical for successful collaboration and smooth information flow.
