SAP BW/4HANA Consultant
Our client is seeking a SAP BW/4HANA expert to guide a BI landscape through a complex migration without losing sight of business value. You will connect legacy data models, modern SAP analytics and Power BI reporting while working fluently across Dutch, French and English.
CONTEXT
Our client, a major player in its sector, is modernising a BI and data analytics landscape where SAP BW and BW/4HANA models have supported critical reporting for years. The organisation now faces a migration path that must respect legacy logic, governance, performance and user adoption. Some data journeys will move to SAP BW/4HANA, Datasphere or Embedded Analytics; others may connect to Azure BI or Power BI. The challenge is not a lift-and-shift. It is a careful translation of business meaning from old models into a future-proof analytics platform, with Dutch, French and English stakeholders all needing clarity. The SAP BW/4HANA expert will act as a bridge between data engineering, business reporting and migration strategy, ensuring the new platform is technically sound and genuinely used.

- Design and support migration paths to SAP BW/4HANA, Datasphere, Embedded Analytics or Azure BI solutions.

- A clear, governed migration strategy from legacy BI to modern SAP and cloud analytics.
- Reliable data models and reporting structures that preserve business meaning.
- Improved performance, maintainability and adoption of BI solutions.
- Smooth collaboration between technical teams and Dutch, French and English-speaking business users.
