Replace SAP BW.
Live SAP data in your own warehouse, without the BW layer.
Replace BW reporting with live SAP data in your own warehouse, without the modeling layer or Open Hub round-trips.
“By using the Microsoft-Simplement solution... we replaced 80 percent of our SAP BW reports in one month.” – The Charles Machine
Roundhouse™ replaces SAP BW as the way SAP data reaches reporting. It streams SAP ECC, S/4HANA and RISE data in real time to Snowflake, SQL Server, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Google BigQuery or any other tool, with no BW modeling layer and no custom ABAP.
Why teams drop BW
One product replaces the extractors, batch jobs and BW layers your team maintains today: SAP data extraction without BW, SAP Note 3255746 compliant, flowing to the tools people already use.
- No custom ABAP, no BW: no per-object coding and no BW modeling layer, so SAP data reaches your platform faster.
- Real-time change data capture: inserts, updates and deletes stream from SAP as they post, with no batch delays.
- Decoded, business-ready data: pool and cluster tables, data types and deltas resolved into usable columns.
- S/4HANA and RISE moves: keep reporting running through the migration, with one pipeline that works on ECC, S/4HANA and RISE.

“If you have ever dreamed of dropping BW, there are 2 pieces of secret sauce that make it possible: Simplement—that really does get the data out of SAP, and the Microsoft In-Memory Database—that provides great performance. We turned off BW and haven’t looked back.”
