APOS Live Data Gateway & BI Platforms – Unified Data Access
APOS Live Data Gateway expands live data connectivity options for SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP S/4HANA, including a wide variety of non-SAP data sources. It also supports import connectivity to those data sources.
The APOS Live Data Gateway uses layers to enable this connectivity. A Data Virtualization Layer provides connectivity to the various data sources. A Semantic Layer lets you determine which tables and fields in the data sources to expose. The Semantic Layer also enables self-serve analytics by shielding users from the complexities of the data source.
Many organizations use multiple BI and analytics platforms. Watch this video to see how APOS Live Data Gateway uses OData, JDBC and ODBC to unify analytics data access not just for SAP Analytics Cloud, but also for other analytics platforms such as Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik.
