Benefits of SAP Data Intelligence

➢ Integrate any kind of data (structured, unstructured or

streaming), with any pattern (real-time, near-real-time,
batch), enrich it, refine it and feed process it

➢ Explore your data assets, create and validate your

models, and orchestrate any mix of data processing
engines, seamlessly within the data pipelines that feed
them

➢ Enabling a Unified Data Catalog:

➢ Discover data (crawl, profile, organize, link, and enrich) and
make data accessible (browse, search)
➢ Classify and organize data and understand it (location,
attributes, quality, lineage, sensitivity)
➢ Enforce centralized authorization and security for data
orchestration, and control data quality standards

Benefits of SAP Data Intelligence

“SAP Data Intelligence has proved useful to us with its ability to pull from a variety of data sources and is well suited
to this. It is also more than capable of cleansing out data without a great deal of issues. It is well suited to running a
variety of different ML models including the use of python and R.” Ben Williams, Data Analyst, Admiral Group plc
