SAP Datasphere enables a business data fabric architecture that uniquely harmonizes mission-critical data throughout the organization, unleashing business experts to make the most impactful decisions. It combines previously discrete capabilities into a unified service for data integration, cataloging, semantic modeling and data-warehousing.

It integrates with other data vendor’s platforms, delivering seamless and scalable access to one authoritative source for your most valuable enterprise data. SAP Datasphere leverages existing data investments. It does not require moving data into yet another data store. It radically simplifies your data landscape, ensuring inherent governance throughout the data life-cycle.
