SAP customers face challenges with data access and interoperability due to SAP's evolving business strategy, licensing models, and ecosystem architecture that can limit business agility by restricting data movement. Despite these constraints, customers have options for managing their data without compromising compliance or performance, as ERP data is valuable when combined with other data sources. SAP ECC, a longstanding ERP system, is reaching end-of-life, pushing customers towards SAP S/4HANA and SAP RISE, which present their own challenges, such as expensive licensing, migration costs, and reduced control over cloud infrastructure. Fivetran offers a solution by simplifying data replication from SAP systems and over 700 other sources to modern data warehouses and lakes, enhancing analytics, AI, and machine learning initiatives. Using standard SAP NetWeaver methods, Fivetran ensures secure and efficient data integration without relying on SAP middleware, enabling businesses to unlock valuable insights and maintain control over their data while avoiding costly workarounds. An IDC study highlights that Fivetran customers experience significant productivity gains and cost savings, allowing them to drive value from their ERP investments and innovate more rapidly.
