    Business Context

    With core data migrated to SAP S/4HANA, the manufacturer's reporting still lived across four fragmented data warehouses, each with its own metrics, definitions and refresh cycles. Leadership was making decisions from inconsistent numbers, and every new report meant reconciling sources by hand.

    As Engagement 3 of the transformation, Nextgenlytics delivered a Unified Data & Analytics platform on SAP Datasphere, integrating the fragmented warehouses and connecting enterprise systems including S/4HANA and marketing. The result is a single, governed source of truth powering 40+ business KPIs across the enterprise.

    Key Impact

    • SAP Datasphere unified data & analytics platform delivered
    • Integration of 4 fragmented data warehouses
    • 40+ business KPIs standardized across the enterprise
    • Integration with S/4HANA, marketing & enterprise systems

    Challenges

    Four fragmented data warehouses each held their own metrics, definitions, and refresh cycles.

    Leadership was making decisions from inconsistent numbers across the business.

    Every new report required manual reconciliation of sources before it could be trusted.

    SAP S/4HANA, marketing, and other enterprise systems needed to feed one governed model.

    Our Solution

    • Integrated 4 fragmented data warehouses into a single SAP Datasphere platform.
    • Built a unified semantic layer across finance, sales, and operations, establishing one governed source of truth.
    • Standardised 40+ business KPIs consistently across the enterprise, with aligned metric definitions across every business unit.
    • Delivered real-time reports and dashboards for leadership.
    • Integrated directly with the core SAP S/4HANA transactional system, plus marketing and other enterprise systems, architected to scale as new sources are onboarded.
