Mastering SAP Data Migration: Addressing Quality and Fidelity Challenges

Data quality is one of the most persistent challenges in large-scale SAP S/4HANA migrations, as noted in the SAPinsider Benchmark report. A key part of the process involves identifying critical data to migrate, addressing inconsistent data sources, and aligning information across functions to support reliable reporting and analytics.

In this session, Kyndryl speakers will share their insights on business decision-making needs, identifying the right data sets to migrate with a structured framework, and orchestrating and managing data decisions. They will discuss how user experiences (cost, UX, business continuity) informed their approach, including technical steps such as data refresh, testing, validation, and determining allowable deviations from standards.

Drawing from their extensive experience, our speakers will walk you through the processes and tools that have shaped their approach, offering practical steps to improve data quality, manage complexity, and create more consistent data flows across systems.

Discussion topics will include:

  • Data-centricity as a Foundation: The role of data accessibility and alignment across business processes in supporting operational consistency.
  • Migration Process and Validation: Techniques used for data integration, quality checks, and validation, with an emphasis on repeatability and transparency.

Semantic Layers in Data Strategy: Enabling Governance & Democratization

In the era of data-driven decision-making, organizations are under increasing pressure to empower business users with self-service analytics while maintaining strict data governance and compliance. Striking the right balance between data democratization and governance is critical, but not without challenges. This session explores how semantic layers serve as the cornerstone of modern enterprise data strategies, enabling organizations to adopt a hub-and-spoke governance model.

The hub-and-spoke approach combines centralized governance of critical data with decentralized innovation at the business unit level. By implementing a semantic layer, enterprises create a shared, business-friendly abstraction of complex data, providing consistent definitions, robust security, and real-time accessibility. This ensures a single source of truth across analytics tools and teams, fostering both agility and control.

Takeaways:

  • A clear understanding of how semantic layers simplify complex data governance.
  • Practical strategies to enable decentralized innovation without losing central control.
  • Real-world case studies showcasing the business impact of semantic layer implementations.

Gain actionable insights into leveraging semantic layers to address governance challenges, accelerate insights, and foster a collaborative, data-driven culture! Join us to explore how the intersection of governance, semantic layers, and the hub-and-spoke model can transform your enterprise data strategy.
