Connect SAP Business by Design and Tableau

Connecting SAP Business by Design and Tableau for a company could make it possible to automatically transfer business data from SAP Business by Design into Tableau for advanced reporting and visualization. This would enable the company to analyze and present operational and financial information in Tableau dashboards, supporting informed decision-making and more efficient data analysis processes.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP Business by Design and Tableau around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP Business by Design and Tableau?

A company that runs both SAP Business by Design and Tableau could benefit from connecting the two systems in order to improve the accuracy and timeliness of business insights. Without a connection, staff may need to manually export and import data between the systems, which could lead to duplicate data entry, inconsistencies, and records that diverge over time. This manual process could also cause delays, meaning that decisions might be based on outdated figures rather than the latest available information. When considering which kinds of data could be exchanged between an ERP system such as SAP Business by Design and an analytics platform like Tableau, the focus would generally be on transactional data, financial figures, sales results, inventory levels, and other operational metrics that inform reporting and analysis. The actual data that can be exchanged, however, would depend on what each system exposes through its API and is determined for each specific situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what SAP Business by Design and Tableau make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
