Microsoft Fabric BPS and dab Nexus | From SAP Raw Data to Real Business Insights in Less Than a Week

Turning SAP data into actionable insights has traditionally been a slow and complex process. Many organizations spend weeks connecting tables, handling currency conversions, and managing multilingual data before they can even build a single dashboard. But what if you could go from raw SAP data to ready-to-use, clean, business-ready tables in just a few days—without heavy SAP configuration or long development cycles?

With Microsoft’s Business Process Solutions (BPS) and dab Nexus, that’s now possible. This powerful combination allows you to transform raw SAP data into ready-to-use Power BI dashboards in record time. Here’s how it works and why it matters.

Why Microsoft’s BPS Changes the Game

Building dashboards from SAP data is challenging because the information you need is scattered across dozens of tables. You also need to apply business logic like currency conversion and language handling, which adds complexity and delays. The key question is: How can you turn raw SAP data into actionable insights—fast and without complex SAP customization?

Microsoft Fabric BPS solves these problems. BPS provide prebuilt data pipelines in Microsoft Fabric. These pipelines automatically transform raw SAP data into clean, analytics-ready data models. They also include features like currency conversion and multilingual support right out of the box.

But it doesn’t stop there. The BPS also deliver preconfigured Power BI dashboards, so you can start analyzing your SAP data immediately instead of building everything from scratch. Currently, the solution supports key SAP processes such as:

• Record to Report (R2R)
• Order to Cash (O2C)
• Procure to Pay (P2P)

…with more on the way.

You no longer have to build your data integration or transformation logic from scratch. Microsoft BPS handles the heavy lifting, so your team can focus on insights—not infrastructure.

How dab Nexus complements Microsoft Fabric BPS

To power Microsoft Fabric BPS, you need a reliable way to extract data from SAP. That’s where dab Nexus comes in. It provides SAP-certified access to your S/4 HANA system and offers predefined data packages for quick setup. You can choose between one-time data loads or regular delta extractions, and the best part is that no additional SAP configuration is required.

Once installed, dab Nexus delivers your SAP data directly into the Fabric Open Mirror, creating the foundation for BPS to process and visualize the data in Power BI. This creates an end-to-end data flow from your SAP system to clean, structured, governed data—ready for analytics.

Business Process Solutions – what else is coming?

Looking ahead, Microsoft is extending the capabilities of BPS by introducing Copilot Agents. These adaptable agents act as intelligent frameworks that connect seamlessly with systems O365 applications such as Outlook or OneDrive and Microsoft Fabric.

Unlike traditional tools, Copilot Agents not only retrieve information—such as order details or invoice numbers—from multiple sources, but can also perform actions directly within SAP. Their cross-platform capabilities mean that searching for a business transaction automatically includes relevant data from your documents, your chats or even your email inbox.

Because Copilot Agents are designed ascustomizable frameworks rather than rigid products, organizations can tailor them to fit unique workflows and requirements. This flexibility makes Copilot Agents a powerful addition to the BPS ecosystem—accelerating the deployment of intelligent, AI-driven processes. With this flexible approach, Microsoft BPS becomes not just a tool for data integration, but a platform for end-to-end digital transformation—enabling customers to unlock faster, smarter, and more integrated business processes.

Within days, your team will have access to fully transformed SAP data—structured, validated, and enriched
