SAP BW Migration Strategy and Automation

This document is a guide focused on the migration of SAP BW systems to modern cloud platforms such as Snowflake and Databricks. It outlines the challenges associated with legacy BW systems, including hidden dependencies and undocumented logic, which can lead to unnecessary costs if migrated without assessment. The guide presents a solution that emphasizes data transparency, automated documentation, and a visual data map to help organizations identify which data assets to retain or discard. It details the process during migration, highlighting the use of AI agents to automate the conversion of ABAP code to SQL or Python, significantly reducing time and costs. Post-migration, the guide discusses the importance of continuous governance and self-service access to maintain data quality and control costs. The document concludes with the assertion that a well-planned migration can lead to substantial savings and a robust, AI-ready data architecture.
