The Challenge

SAP business units individually call cloud APIs, generating high costs and slowed data flow when hitting API rate limits.

Multi Cloud Data as a Service centralizes cloud data in a
data lake, creating data correlations  with disparate cloud and company data, for the C-Suite, Executive Board, and SAP business leaders to draw actionable insights from.
