Challenge
Weber uses its SAP technology platform to handle a a lot of operational tasks. This includes sales and operations planning, inventory management and scheduling and also cross functional applications that support finance and IT. SAP is an integral part of Weber’s IT infrastructure. In an effort to further modernize the platform, Weber transformed and upgraded its SAP instance to S/4 HANA internationally. To achieve economies of scale, cost-effectiveness and benefit from the various capabilities of the Cloud, the company decided to move data from the SAP S/4 HANA applications to Snowflake. The challenge for Weber was to extract their data from SAP S/4 HANA in near real-time to Snowflake for reporting and analytics. SAP HANA to Snowflake with BryteFlow
