Velocity: SAP data ingestion made easy!   

Automate your data engineering for SAP to Azure 

Introducing Velocity, Kagool's proprietary metadata-driven, no-code application specialising in rapid data ingestion from SAP source systems, delivering out-of-the-box change data capture without the need for SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT). 


Velocity is SAP-certified and a Microsoft-recommended tool designed to reduce data engineering efforts for pipeline creation from weeks to minutes. As a testament to its success, Velocity has been helping global organisations with installations worldwide and has handled billions of records in incremental loads. It excels over native connectors in Azure Data Factory by transferring the business context of SAP data structures into lake house architecture platforms without having to write code in ADF, delivers change data capture out of the box, thereby unlocking SAP data to an ecosystem of capabilities beyond basic analytics in SAP. 

 

Velocity expedites time to insights from SAP data with a no-code, configuration-based app custom-built for various native SAP object types, including SAP CDS views, ODP-based extractors, HANA calculation views, SAP long texts, hierarchies, t-codes, conversion exits and many more complex SAP data objects. Its centralised audit logging keeps you in control, providing transparency throughout your data ingestion processes (Source to target) and efficiently handling high-volume data loads. 

 

Velocity's error investigation tools facilitate swift detection and resolution, ensuring a clean, one-click recovery process and uninterrupted data workflows. It proactively alerts service management and concerned stakeholders .In essence, Velocity provides a comprehensive solution that addresses data extraction, security, scheduling, observability and error management for robust data integration and orchestration without writing a piece of code built around the complex data structures of SAP customers.

Empowering our clients across industries to unlock the full potential of their data 

Largest Pharmacy chain in USA

The customer decided to adopt Azure as their enterprise analytics platform. Velocity seamlessly integrates data from SAP S/4 HANA into Microsoft Azure Storage, empowering the client to manage an impressive volume of over 80 billion financial ledger entries within the Azure Cloud. Leveraging Velocity, we established standardised data models to create a cohesive view of financial operations, supporting the client's retail and financial transformation initiatives. Additionally, our team provided expert consultancy services for data visualisation using Power BI, effectively replacing legacy tools such as Tableau and Cognos. 


This initiative marked a significant transformation and modernisation of the client's retail and finance data ecosystem. By implementing a modern platform built on Microsoft technologies with Velocity as the linchpin, we established a singular, authoritative source for critical financial reporting. This unlocked opportunities for advanced analytics and granted finance professionals access to precise and reliable daily financial data with unprecedented granularity. With data updated multiple times a day through Velocity and Azure integration, financial statement reporting now occurs automatically overnight during month-end closures. This streamlined process liberates financial analysts from mundane tasks like data manipulation and report creation, empowering them to focus on strategic decision-making and extracting actionable insights from the data.

The customer had numerous requirements, including sunsetting BW, migrating to Azure and deprecating the Oracle data warehouse in favour of Azure. Velocity was crucial in expediting the transition by replacing thousands of BODS (SAP Data Services) jobs to enhance integration robustness. Additionally, Kagool provided consultancy services to support the sunset of BW and the rollout of Power BI with Azure. We facilitated the establishment of their modern data platform on Azure, leveraging Velocity as a critical enabler. This allowed them to develop and deploy data products swiftly and with agility. Using Velocity and Azure, we built data products across eight different areas: finance, supply chain, pricing, and inventory—this empowered business users with the reliable reporting necessary for informed decision-making. We guided best practices and leveraged our expertise in modern data platforms. Velocity and Azure ensure that SAP transactional financial data is accessible to users through a trusted single source of truth model, with data refreshed thrice daily.

Velocity facilitates the rapid extraction of data from SAP ECC to Azure Storage, enhancing Power Systems' global reporting capabilities, which include financial forecasts, daily SNO, and executive summaries. 


Additionally, we spearheaded the carve-out process, establishing the new business entity separate from its parent company. This involved deploying a new Velocity and Azure landscape tailored to the unique needs of the new company. Working closely with IT and business stakeholders, we ensured a seamless transition by swiftly setting up a fully functional data landscape. The migration to the new company environment was completed within a tight timeframe of four months, consisting of one month of analysis and three months of migration work. 


The migration encompassed dozens of databases and data pipelines and hundreds of Power BI reports, user groups, and permissions. Despite the scale of the operation, we prioritised minimal disruption for end users. Collaborating across IT departments, we ensured that all systems were prepared, resulting in minimal or no disruption to users during the transition. Leveraging Velocity and Azure, we efficiently loaded data into the new environment, meeting stringent cutover deadlines with precision.
