Unleash the power of your SAP data

How it works

The Board Connector for SAP is our tailored solution for customers that are using the Board platform for analysis, simulation, and planning. With the Board Connector, SAP data from the various modules can easily be incorporated into the customer’s analytics and planning processes. As part of the Xtract family, the Board Connector comes with same, proven SAP data extraction capabilities as our other Xtract products. With the Board Connector Designer, the user can connect to one or more SAP systems and configure the SAP data extracts with only a few mouse clicks - no coding or scripting required. Data preview and logging functionality assist in the development of the various SAP data pulls. Once a data extract is defined, the Board user can manually trigger or automate the loading of SAP data directly within the familiar Board tools. Existing SAP data feeds can be easily modified to include new data elements to accommodate your changing business requirements. No need for expensive and time-consuming ABAP coding cycles. The Board Connector for SAP supports both large volume data extraction as well as continuous, incremental SAP data feeds. Multiple SAP data extracts can run concurrently, by different users. With built-in security, you will have control over who has access to your sensitive SAP data.
