Incomplete data can hinder business insights and lead to gaps in process efficiency. Power Platform enables you to extend core systems, allowing you to capture and store additional operational data in Dataverse. This approach ensures that all relevant data for a process is available in one place, without the need for complex and costly customizations in your core SAP environment.

• Dataverse as a Data Hub: Store supplemental operational data in Dataverse, enabling you to capture end-to-end details for any process that may not be fully captured in SAP alone. For instance, you can track real-time production data, maintenance logs, and quality checks seamlessly alongside SAP data.
• Process Enrichment without Core Modifications: Add depth to your process data by integrating custom fields, insights, or documents directly into the workflow without requiring extensive changes to your SAP system.
• Enhanced Data Accessibility: Enable teams to view, analyze, and interact with enriched process data through Power Platform applications, creating a unified data ecosystem that supports informed decision-making across departments.

Outcome: Complete, enriched process data that drives more informed actions, all without the time and expense of extending core systems, so you can adapt and scale rapidly as business needs evolve.
