Gain access to your data anytime, anywhere

Support databases, applications, files, transports, and unstructured content across 31 languages by connecting to new or popular data sources. You can also tap into our partners’ expertise to access mainframe data sources and address captured data changes for certain sources.

Integrate tightly with SAP applications

Benefit from native access to SAP Business Suite applications. SAP Data Services understands the application model and accesses relevant metadata. Plus, it reads data based on programming languages, such as ABAP, IDocs, BAPI, RFC, and SAP extractors.

Interconnect with SAP Data Hub

Orchestrate data flows from SAP Data Services through the SAP Data Intelligence solution. This approach provides computing node and connector options.

Stay connected to third-party solutions

Receive native support for third-party data sources, including Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, IBM Informix, Oracle, HP Vertica, MySQL, and Netezza. You can also support adapters for Apache Hive, HTTP, JDBC, JMS, MongoDB, and OData. Furthermore, Big Data and cloud support can be expanded with Microsoft Azure, Big Data Services, Impala, Cassandra, OData, and Apache Hive.

Optimize SAP Data Services for SAP HANA

Apply a built-in, intelligent optimizer that converts data flow with a choice of approaches: extract, load, and transform (ELT); a push down of all operations to the target database; or extract, transform, and load (ETL). With the ELT approach, SAP Data Services leverages the processing power of SAP HANA for maximum performance.

Fine-tune data replication and transformation

Take advantage of multiple and unique data capture mechanisms with replicate, transform, and load (RTL) concepts.

Data Quality

Transform, cleanse, match, and consolidate data by understanding the impact of quality problems on all downstream systems and applications.
