We are currently on SAP/4HANA and BW/4HANA with traditional perpetual license. If we migrate BW/4HANA to SAP Datasphere, how will it impact our BW spend? Will it be more expensive and what is the ball park % increase?

Need recommendations for a new Building Badge system please. We’re currently evaluating options for a new building badge and access control system and I’d appreciate any recommendations based on your experience. We’re looking for a solution that: Provides robust access control and integrates with badge entry Can enable or disable equipment, e.g., forklift operation or charging station use Offers strong reporting and real-time location tracking of employees Allows access rights to be managed by job function Interfaces easily with HR ERP systems for provisioning/deprovisioning Supports secure outside gate entry and exit If you’ve implemented a system that checks most of these boxes—or if you have lessons learned from your own rollout—I’d really value your insights.

That's a very good question and one that I would be interesting to see an answer to as well. We're just starting our assessment and what we can see already is that the answer is the proverbial "it depends" because DataSphere has many capabilities and the cost depends highly on what you use. What's clear however is that SAP is pushing DataSphere and is likely to give you some incentives for jumping on it, but I can already see that it will be hard to beat the cost of the on prem BW as we have such a mature setup where we've optimized heavily that the TCO of that will be hard to beat, for a stable setup. I think the difference will play out more on whether we need scalability, something that is costly to bring on an onprem platform. Nothing really new when it comes to comparing cloud and on-prem
