YASH Technologies' Lakshman Arthimalla on Unlocking Enterprise Intelligence with SAP Business Data Cloud on TechDogs' Discover Dialogues

Santa Clara, CA - In the latest episode of Discover Dialogues, hosted by Vikramsinh Ghatge, Senior Director of Marketing and Editor-in-Chief at TechDogs, Lakshman Arthimalla, Director - Data & Analytics at YASH Technologies, unpacks the future of enterprise intelligence powered by SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC).

With over two decades of experience across SAP BW, HANA, SAC, Datasphere, and now BDC, Lakshman offers unparalleled clarity on how organizations can evolve from fragmented, legacy data systems to unified, governed, AI-ready ecosystems. His perspective bridges deep technical fluency with business-first strategy, making this episode essential for enterprises preparing for modernization, multi-system integration, and AI transformation.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Lakshman explains how BDC represents the next major evolution of SAP's analytics journey - bringing semantics, governance, modeling, planning, and AI-enablement together in one cohesive data fabric.

Key highlights from the conversation include:

The Evolution of SAP Analytics: Lakshman traces the journey from SAP BW to HANA to SAC, explaining why BDC is the logical culmination of decades of ERP intelligence and enterprise data modeling.

• What SAP Business Data Cloud Really Is: He breaks BDC down as a semantic-driven data fabric, a governed foundation, an integration layer, a planning engine, and an AI-ready decision framework - all in one.

• The Intelligence Fabric: Lakshman highlights how BDC delivers consistent KPIs, real-time access, top-to-bottom reporting, and semantic accuracy without heavy ETL engineering.

• Governance & Compliance at Scale: From SOX and HIPAA to Unity Catalog, data masking, lineage tracking, and audit-ready logs, he describes how BDC makes compliance an enabler for innovation.

• SAP + Non-SAP Integration: Lakshman details how BDC connects Salesforce, Workday, MES, CAD systems, IoT devices, and custom apps using semantic mapping and AI-ready pipelines - without forcing migrations.

• AI/ML Enablement with Databricks: He explains how BDC forms the foundation for enterprise-grade AI use cases like forecasting, anomaly detection, tariff modeling, and supply chain intelligence.

• Real-World Impact: From a Working Capital Insight App for finance to Hire-to-Retire analytics for HR, Lakshman shares concrete examples of how BDC delivers real-time, actionable insights.

• Modernization Roadmapping: He emphasizes the importance of discovery, education, and advisory through assessments, migration planning, cloud readiness evaluations, and AI strategy workshops.

• Leadership Mindset: Lakshman shares his principle of "lead by example," highlighting the need for cultural readiness, business-IT collaboration, and executive education for successful transformation.

"BDC is not just a tool - it's an intelligence fabric that unifies business meaning, governance, and AI readiness into a single, trusted decision layer," says Lakshman.
