    About This Session

    Moving from a traditional BW landscape to SAP Business Data Cloud requires more than migrating data—it requires rethinking governance, identity, and security from the ground up. In this session, Orkla IT shares how they designed a scalable security architecture using Microsoft Entra ID, SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud, and centralized access management while balancing governance, flexibility, and business self-service.

    Attendees will learn:

    Why Orkla chose to redesign its security model while migrating to SAP Business Data Cloud rather than simply replicating legacy permissions How Microsoft Entra ID, single sign-on, and centralized identity management simplify user provisioning across SAP Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud The governance decisions behind object-level security, spaces, dynamic roles, and segregation of duties within SAP Datasphere Lessons learned from working with external advisors and SAP to validate architecture decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and future-proof the environment How, shared responsibility, security monitoring, logging services, and third-party security tooling fit into Orkla's overall SAP BTP security strategy
