Executives don’t suffer from a lack of data.
They suffer from a lack of trust, speed, and clarity
This isn’t anecdotal. It’s measurable.
According to a Salesforce research report, nearly 50 percent of data leaders admit they’ve made incorrect business decisions because of incomplete or fragmented data, and 26 percent of enterprise data is considered untrustworthy. Another 19 percent remains siloed and unusable, even though most leaders believe their most valuable insights are locked inside those silos.
So, when Finance walks into the boardroom with one number, Operations brings another, and Sales arrives with a third, the problem isn’t alignment. Each view is technically correct inside its own system. What’s missing is a shared, governed foundation that connects those truths into a single business reality.
As enterprises expand across SAP landscapes, cloud platforms, SaaS ecosystems like Salesforce and Oracle, and partner networks, traditional data warehouses are collapsing under their own complexity. They duplicate data, break governance, and create delays that modern executives simply can’t afford.
That’s why organizations are rethinking how data is unified, governed, and activated. And it’s why SAP Datasphere has become central to modern enterprise data strategies, not as another reporting layer, but as the connective tissue that restores trust, speed, and clarity at the executive level.
Most enterprises today operate across SAP and non-SAP systems:
The business impact is real:
It doesn’t just move data. It preserves business context, meaning, and ownership while making data available across the enterprise.

| Reports built after the fact | Insights delivered in real time |
Datasphere shifts BI from reporting on what happened to guiding what should happen next.
