Connect SAP Business by Design and Microsoft Power BI

A company operating both SAP Business by Design and Microsoft Power BI could benefit from enabling these systems to exchange data. This connection could allow decision makers to analyze up-to-date operational data from SAP Business by Design directly within Power BI, supporting more timely and informed business decisions. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually export and import data, increasing the risk of errors, duplicated effort, and delays. Data could become inconsistent between the two systems, with records drifting apart and reports in Power BI reflecting outdated figures, which can undermine trust in business analytics and lead to decisions based on incomplete or stale information. If a connection were established, the types of data exchanged could include financial figures, sales orders, inventory levels, procurement data, and key performance indicators maintained in SAP Business by Design. Power BI could then use this data to generate visualizations and dashboards for business users. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API and must be determined for each situation.
