Episode 1: ODP OData Turned into Compliant, Trusted, and Reliable SAP Data Extraction: SAP Data Access without Performance Trade-Off
SAP has restricted ODP-RFC access and technically validates and blocks non-compliant ODP-RFC calls in productive systems. For many existing integration scenarios, this means action is required now. But what does this mean for you?
Existing ODP-based integrations should be reviewed now and switched to SAP-compliant alternatives that are already available.
You don't need to rely on OData as the only alternative. Depending on your use case, Theobald Software supports several SAP-compliant options that handle large data volumes and stable delta processes for SAP Tables and CDS Views.
If you are feeling uncertain about your current setup and defining the right migration path to SAP-compliant extraction scenarios, this one is for you.
Our experts Christoph Schuler and Fabian Steffan are looking forward to your participation and questions.
Episode 2: Data Sovereignty: Own Your SAP Data with Apache Iceberg & Object Storage
Keep control of your SAP data without locking yourself into a single platform!
Data sovereignty isn't just an IT concern, it's a strategic one. When you move SAP data to the cloud, connect it to other systems, or open it up for AI tools like SAP Joule, you're also deciding how much flexibility you will have down the road: can you switch tools, swap vendors, or connect new applications later? Or are you locked into one platform, one format, one provider?
This is where open storage formats like Apache Iceberg come in. They make your SAP data accessible without trapping it in a proprietary format so it stays usable across data lakes, object storage, or any analytics platform you choose, regardless of how your SAP landscape evolves.
In this 30-minute live webinar, we will show how to extract SAP data and bring it into open formats like Apache Iceberg. Join us and get to know practical examples covering integration with popular data lake platforms and generic S3 object storage.
You'll learn:
- Why SAP data sovereignty starts with the data format, not just the cloud migration
- How Apache Iceberg helps avoid vendor lock-in and keeps future architecture decisions open
- How our solution supports your way to a modern, sovereign data architecture
For anyone who sees SAP data integration as a strategic decision, not just a technical one. Our experts Christoph Schuler and Michael Baessler are looking forward to your participation and questions.
Episode 3: From Extraction to Data Product: Using SAP Metadata Intelligently
If you work with SAP data, you know the questions that come up again and again:
- Which of the thousands of SAP sources delivers exactly the answer the business needs right now?
- What happens to my reports when something changes in SAP?
- And almost always: who do I have to ask in IT to find out?
This is where Data Lineage comes in: like a digital family tree, it instantly shows where data comes from, how it flows, and who uses it. This allows you to recognize the impact of changes before an error occurs and gives the business the transparency it needs for confident decision-making.
In this webinar, you will learn how to make targeted use of the synergy between proven extraction and intelligent metadata management. We will show you through concrete use cases how to find SAP data sources faster, automate system research, and reliably document your data landscape for the long term. As a result, business units can answer these questions themselves, without going through IT every time.
Take the next step: from pure data delivery to high-quality, transparent data products!
Your benefits:
- Faster results: Find the right tables or views in seconds instead of searching through the SAP system manually.
- From field to insight: Turn cryptic SAP abbreviations into understandable data products for your business units.
- Documentation at the click of a button: Generate documentation for your entire data supply chain automatically – no manual maintenance required.
- Reliability: Increase the stability of your existing data flows through end-to-end transparency.
- Self-service for the business: Empower your business units to understand data sources themselves and request them directly.
Our experts Christoph Schuler and Alexander Ludwig are looking forward to your participation and questions.
Episode 4: Bring Real-Time SAP Data to Your Event-Driven Architecture with Apache Kafka
Traditional batch processes are no longer sufficient for modern data platforms when organizations move toward event-driven architectures. SAP data must be available where it is needed and with minimal latency in such architectures.
In this webinar, you'll discover how our new Apache Kafka integration enables seamless SAP data streaming into modern, event-driven data platforms. Extracted SAP data is delivered securely and in a structured format into data pipelines, where it can be processed in real time without any additional integration effort.
Join us to learn how to:
- Stream SAP data directly into Apache Kafka
- Enable near real-time analytics and event-driven applications
- Reduce integration complexity with standardized data streams
- Build scalable, resilient data pipelines for cloud, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments
Whether you're modernizing your data architecture or building real-time analytics capabilities, this session will show you how to make SAP data an integral part of your event-driven ecosystem.
