SAP FSDP/FSDM

SAP FSDP enables standardized data management on the latest SAP HANA technology. Financial Services Data Management (FSDM) serves as the foundation of the Financial Services Data Platform solution.

SAP Financial Services Data Platform (SAP FSDP) is a new development based on SAP HANA and comes with a standardized data model for the financial industry. As a partner for SAP FSDP, we ensure a successful implementation of SAP FSDP and its efficient use with best-practice solutions, among other things.

INTRODUCTION

Fast implementation and practical use of the reference data model

TRAINING

Introduction and application of the technical components as well as know-how development

EXPERTISE

ADWEKO is a partner for SAP FSDP and therefore has a close exchange with SAP.

TARGET ARCHITECTURE & EMBEDDING IN THE SYSTEM LANDSCAPE

SAP FSDP consists of the HANA Data Management Suite, SAP Power Designer, and the Financial Data Services Data Management (FSDM) module. With the HANA Data Management Suite, the most modern methods of data provisioning and application development from SAP can be used. However, challenges arise in integrating FSDP and the required components into the corporate infrastructure and internal processes. This particularly affects customers who have mainly used SAP NetWeaver applications to date. We support you in making future-oriented and sustainable decisions in the field of architecture and infrastructure.

PRACTICAL USE OF THE REFERENCE DATA MODEL

SAP delivers a standard data model as a reference. This consists of a conceptual data model (CDM) and a physical data model (PDM). The reference data model offers the advantage of being able to draw on SAP’s experience in the area of financial service data modeling. There is no need to model your own data model on the drawing board. In addition, the standard model can be customized through extensions.

ETL

The Financial Service Data Platform is an integrative data platform. After the source data has been mapped to the FSDM data model, it must be loaded with the specific interfaces to ensure bi-temporal versioning. For this purpose, it is necessary to connect the data sources to the HANA database. With years of expertise in connecting and integrating source data, ADWEKO supports you in the selection of the right tools, the architecture of the ETL process, and the implementation and operation of data loading.

The following overview provides a selection of possible target architectures and techniques for data integration in FSDP:

SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD AND FSDM

At the heart of the strategy around SAP Business Intelligence and data analytics, everything is moving toward cloud-based solutions with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). The standardized integration of SAC into FSDP and the easy use of FSDM data sources in SAC allow real-time analysis and visualization tools for business departments or IT operations to be built in a very short time. This is even more important as FSDM currently does not have a shipped GUI to view data without SQL knowledge.

ADWEKO will introduce you to the capabilities of SAP Analytics Cloud and implement your SAC integration, analytics and dashboards for FSDM.

FSDM REPORTING

With the capabilities of SAP HANA 2, data from SAP FSDM can be prepared, aggregated, and processed based on customer-specific requirements. Here we recommend the use of graphical modeling tools, such as Calculation Views, to easily create multidimensional reporting solutions.

ADWEKO supports you in recording the reporting requirements and implements them with the appropriate HANA technologies.

CONNECTION S/4 HANA

The SAP Bank Analyzer solution smartAFI will be replaced by the S/4 add-on Financial Service Product Subledger (SAP FPSL). In the medium term, there will be seamless integration between FSDM as a data source and the FPSL add-on. The advantages of FPSL can be used optimally by the connection to FSDM and data redundancies can be reduced by a multiple.

ADWEKO analyses with you whether and how the SAP Financial Service Data Platform can take a central position in your strategy in interaction with FPSL.
