However, many customers face huge levels of siloed data, which can lead to significant overhead in managing and reconciling data. To address this challenge, SAP has launched the Business Data Cloud, which enables customers to unify all their data, not just SAP data, and build a single harmonized data layer.
Unification of SAP and Third-Party Data

Pre-built data models and industry-specific workflows in enterprise applications leverage data to address global compliance challenges and accelerate problem-solving. Historically, there has been a lot of oversight, resulting in operational overhead, but with the Business Data Cloud, customers can build a strong data strategy and promote data for forecasting and predictive purposes.
The Role of Semantic Rich Business Data in Fueling AI-Powered Insights
Semantic rich business data plays a crucial role in fueling AI-powered insights and actionable recommendations in enterprise applications. By applying raw data to a model, customers can create a higher value use case with less hallucination and more reliable decision-making.
