At SAPPHIRE 2026, SAP unveiled the SAP Business AI Platform (BAIP) — a unified portfolio bringing together SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC), and SAP Business Transformation Management (BTM), enriched with new services and capabilities designed to make agentic AI a practical reality for SAP customers and partners.

In this session, we will recap the strategic positioning and vision behind SAP Business AI Platform, and explore what this evolution means specifically for SAP BTP and SAP BDC customers — both from a strategic perspective (how BAIP reshapes the platform landscape and investment priorities) and from a practitioner’s perspective (what changes operationally, technically, and day-to-day for architects, developers, and platform teams).

Speakers:
Steffen Schad, Steffen Schad, Head of Outbound Product Management, SAP BTP
KP Sauer, Senior Director Data Warehousing, SAP
Dan Kearnan, Senior Director, SAP BTP

Kick off The Next Era of Business Data with an overview of SAP Business Data Cloud in 2026. In this live session, we explore how SAP BDC is evolving into a trusted, open foundation for analytics, AI, and decision-making, and what that evolution means for organizations planning their data strategies today.

This session is ideal for business leaders, data and analytics professionals, IT and enterprise architects, and SAP practitioners who want a clear view of where SAP’s data platform is heading. Join us to understand the key themes, capabilities, and opportunities shaping the future of business data and to set the stage for the sessions that follow in the series.

Speaker: Klaus-Peter Sauer, Senior Director Data Warehousing, SAP

SAP Business Warehouse modernization is not about starting over. It’s about extending the value of trusted reporting while enabling the speed, flexibility, and business relevance today’s analytics demand.

In this overview session, we explore why organizations should modernize their SAP BW landscapes and how they can do so with confidence. You’ll gain a clear, practical view of the available modernization paths, from system conversion and selective transition to integration with SAP Business Data Cloud, along with the key business and technical trade-offs behind each option.

The session shows how to simplify architectures, reduce data redundancy, and unlock faster, more adaptive analytics, all while protecting existing investments and minimizing operational disruption.

In this live session, discover how SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) brings business data to life when powered by SAP Business Data Cloud. We explore how trusted, semantically rich data from across the enterprise can be connected seamlessly to analytics, planning, and predictive insights, without introducing complexity or duplication.

Learn how SAP BDC provides a unified data foundation, while SAP Analytics Cloud enables faster decision-making through real-time insights, integrated planning, and AI-assisted analytics.

The session highlights how organizations can move from fragmented reporting to a consistent, business-ready analytics experience that scales across lines of business and supports confident, data-driven decisions.

In this live session, discover how BDC Connect expands the open data ecosystem by enabling secure, zero-copy data access across platforms. Built on industry standards with a focus on Delta Sharing, BDC Connect allows organizations to integrate SAP Business Data Cloud seamlessly with external data platforms such as Databricks and Snowflake, while preserving governance, semantics, and trust.

We’ll explore how a zero-copy approach supports customer choice, eliminates data silos, and delivers real-time access to business-ready data wherever it resides. Learn how this unified business data fabric accelerates analytics and AI use cases without introducing the hidden costs and complexity of traditional data movement.

Speaker: San Tran, Product Manager for SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP

As enterprise and data architects, we're tasked with bridging the gap between strategic vision and technical reality. A challenge that becomes exponentially complex when modernising enterprise data landscapes. SAP Business Data Cloud represents not just another data platform, but a fundamental shift in how organisations architect for business context, governance, and AI-readiness across SAP and Non-SAP Hybrid ecosystems. In this session, we cut through the marketing to provide architects with a pragmatic, pattern-based view of SAP BDC's role in modern enterprise architecture.

You'll learn:

The evolution path from siloed SAP data to unified business data fabric
Architecting data products that preserve business context across SAP and non-SAP sources
Governance-by-design: embedding data quality, lineage, and access control at the architecture level
How BDC Connect is making the Open Ecosystem Real with Zero Copy Architecture
And finally , What "AI-ready" actually means from an architecture perspective (hint: it's about trust, not just storage)

The decisions you make today about your data architecture will determine your organisation's ability to compete, innovate, and adapt for the next decade.

Speaker: Gaurish Dessai, Product Manager for SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP

In this live session, we introduce SAP Data Product Studio, a new capability in SAP Business Data Cloud designed to help developers and data teams build, manage, and govern data products at scale.

We’ll explore how teams can leverage metadata from the data catalog to define relationships, lineage, and transformation logic, apply SQL-based transformations, and manage versioning and governance through a shared domain catalog. The session highlights how SAP Data Product Studio brings structure to the full data product lifecycle, enabling faster innovation while maintaining consistency across the business data fabric.
