Greenfield Imlementation of SAP Datasphere and SAC BI + SAC Planning at Vaisala
Vaisala's SAP Datasphere & SAC BI + Planning Implementation:  

This project, implemented on top of S4/HANA, Salesforce, and other systems, went live in January 2024. Vaisala's decision to opt for a big bang central data analytics ecosystem implementation, completely substituting their existing Oracle DWH and BI landscape, makes for an intriguing case study. The story focuses on:

  • Full solution architecture, along with tips and tricks on data integration, data model design, space management etc.
  • Approach to perfect end-user content creation in SAC BI
  • Project challenges and benefits
