What is integrated into the BDC so its objects can be utilized as Data Products?

The integration of SAP BW or SAP BW/4HANA into the Business Data Controller (BDC) allows for the effective utilization of its objects as Data Products. This is because SAP BW and its successor, BW/4HANA, are designed to serve as comprehensive data warehousing solutions, enabling organizations to consolidate, model, and manage data from various sources. By integrating these tools with the BDC, organizations can enhance their data management capabilities, ensuring that data is not only stored but also transformed into actionable insights which can be served as Data Products.

Data Products are essentially data assets that can be created, managed, and delivered to end-users for insights, analysis, or reporting. SAP BW and BW/4HANA provide the necessary frameworks, data models, and reporting tools that facilitate this conversion process, making the data more valuable and usable for business intelligence and analytics.

Other options may provide functionalities or capabilities related to data and analytics, but they do not specifically integrate with BDC to enable the creation of Data Products from BW or BW/4HANA objects. For example, while SAP Analytics Cloud focuses on analytics and visualization, it relies on data sources often provided by BW or BW/4HANA rather than serving as the foundational integration layer.
