Fast-tracking ERP connectivity to unlock immediate value
Baker Hughes recognized that delivering fast, accurate insights was essential to helping its industrial customers keep critical operations running smoothly. To enhance this capability, the company focused on optimizing how its proprietary Cordant™ Asset Strategy solution connects with customers’ ERP systems. By proactively addressing integration complexity, Baker Hughes could enable Cordant™ Asset Strategy to deliver real-time asset intelligence with greater speed, scale, and confidence—empowering customers to act on insights when and where it matters most.
With its customer base running a mix of on-premises ERP solutions from SAP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud solutions, integration posed a complex challenge with the need for manual effort. The global energy technology business needed a smarter way to quickly connect to ERP landscapes—on premises and in the cloud—while preserving the depth of operational data required to drive meaningful asset insights.
Recognizing the opportunity to enhance the customer experience and accelerate value delivery, Baker Hughes set a bold objective to reduce integration time to one week without sacrificing accuracy, scale, or business context. The goal created an opportunity to transform data access into a strategic advantage.

Rethinking operations from the ground up to the business chain
To maximize value and scale Cordant™ Asset Strategy across its global customer base, Baker Hughes reimagined how it connects with customers’ ERP systems. The company established a modern data foundation supported by the SAP Business Data Cloud solution—unifying data, retaining business context, and eliminating the need for time-consuming replication.
SAP Business Data Cloud enables more-secure, governed access to customers’ ERP systems and safeguards the functionalities in Cordant™ Asset Strategy needed to deliver meaningful insights. It then brings this data into a harmonized environment ready for analytics, AI, and real-time action.
With the SAP Business Data Cloud Connect solution for Databricks, Cordant™ Asset Strategy will now be able to scale predictive insights and maintenance strategies with greater ease. The additional support from EPAM Systems Inc. helped ensure this integration could move Baker Hughes from manual data extraction to a streamlined, AI-ready platform that meets customers where they are and where they’re headed.
ERP integrations that once felt like business-value roadblocks have become a critical competitive edge. Now, Baker Hughes has the tools to provide faster time to value, real-time asset intelligence, and greater operational agility across industries and ERP landscapes.

Accelerating the delivery of real-time insights and compelling value
With its new data foundation in place, Baker Hughes turned a time-consuming integration cycle into a one-week win. Doing so dramatically accelerated how quickly Cordant™ Asset Strategy connects to customer ERP systems. More important, that shift unlocked an entirely new level of agility that allows Baker Hughes to deliver value to customers almost immediately.
Cordant™ Asset Strategy can surface predictive asset insights, maintenance priorities, and operational risks in real time, even across highly complex and distributed ERP environments. Customers no longer have to wait months for performance data. Instead, they can act on insights when and where it matters most.
The impact of implementing SAP Business Data Cloud goes beyond IT efficiency for Baker Hughes. The solution has become a strategic enabler, assisting the company to keep pace with industrial customers’ evolving needs. With reliable, governed data flowing into Cordant™ Asset Strategy, Baker Hughes has laid the groundwork for next-level innovation, from AI-driven maintenance strategies to new business models built on insight delivery.
