Choose the right package for your SAP Business Data Cloud journey
Three fixed-scope packages covering the full journey, from a first assessment through a deployed foundation to a production-ready implementation.
A structured assessment of your SAP and non-SAP landscape – source systems, existing analytics tools and SAP for Me prerequisites – ending in a high-level architecture blueprint and a prioritized BDC roadmap with effort estimates.
Key deliverables
- Landscape assessment document
- High-level architecture blueprint
- Prioritized roadmap with effort estimates & risk log
When is this useful?
- You're evaluating BDC and need a fact-based business case
- You have BW/BW4HANA content that may need to migrate
End-to-end deployment of the BDC foundation: BTP subaccount, BDC Cockpit, Datasphere and SAC tenants, on-premise connectivity, one connected source system, scoped data products, and an admin handover workshop for your team.
Key deliverables
- BDC/Datasphere tenant, connected and configured
- Scoped data products deployed from the BDC catalogue
- BDC Deployment Workbook & admin handover
When is this useful?
- You've scoped BDC (e.g. via Package 1) and want it live
- You want a production-ready foundation before extending scope
Everything in Foundation Deployment, plus a Databricks workspace with Delta Sharing, custom CDS-based data products, SAP Knowledge Graph/Joule alignment, role-based user enablement and hypercare through go-live.
Key deliverables
- Databricks workspace & custom-managed data products
- Knowledge Graph/Joule alignment & role-based enablement
- Solution architecture doc, data product catalogue & ops runbook
When is this useful?
- You need non-SAP sources, custom data products or BW migration
- You're rolling BDC out for production use at scale

How the Foundation Deployment package is delivered
The Foundation Deployment package (Package 2) is internally structured according to SAP's standard four-phase approach – Discover & Prepare, Explore, Realize, and Deploy & Run – the same phase model used across SAP implementation programs generally.
The Foundation Deployment package begins with a short kickoff and validation phase to align on scope, roles and timeline before work begins.
Timeline 1 week Key Activities- Kickoff Workshop: align on rough scope, roles and timeline (up to 2h remote session)
- Validation & Planning: initial scope and sizing, high-level timeline for the project
- Project plan
- RASCI
- Governance plan
BDC Foundation Deployment – Phases
Phase 1 – Discover & Prepare (Kickoff & Validation)
Kickoff Workshop
Align on rough scope, roles and timeline (up to 2h remote session).
Validation & Planning
Initial scope and sizing, high-level timeline for the project.
Deliverables
- Project plan
- RASCI
- Governance plan
Phase 2 – Explore (Scoping & Architecture)
Scoping Workshops
Up to three sessions (up to 2h each) to define target scenario, complexity, data volumes and integration points.
Architecture & BDC Provisioning
BTP subaccount setup, IAS/IPS trust configuration, BDC Cockpit and Datasphere tenant setup via SAP for Me.
Deliverables
- Estimate on BDC costs based on sizing
- Scope of SAP Data Products
- Setup of BDC/Datasphere tenant
Phase 3 – Realize (Connectivity, Data & Enablement)
Connectivity & Data Access
Cloud Connector and DP Agent installation & registration, ABAP RFC/HTTPS destinations, firewall/network setup, a configured and connected Datasphere space.
Data Products
Deployment and activation of scoped SAP-managed data products from the BDC catalogue, validation of replication.
MDG & SAC
MDG activation, initial SAC configuration.
Testing & Stabilization
End-to-end data flow validation, issue resolution.
Deliverables
