<p class="has-medium-font-size">Gaurav Dey is joined by Sandy Tran, Product Manager for SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) on SAP BTP, to discuss Business Warehouse (BW) modernization and BW transformation. Together they outline how customers can move from SAP BW 7.5 and BW/4HANA to BDC via the pragmatic “lift → shift → innovate” approach.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Sandy details the new Data Product Generator, showing how legacy BW InfoProviders become SAP data products ready for AI in SAP scenarios—whether you’re using SAP Datasphere, SAP Databricks, or intelligent copilots like SAP Joule. Listeners also get an early look at the SAP roadmap for 2025, which promises deeper object associations, automated dependency handling, and smoother SAP cloud migration paths.</p>
