The blog post will explain how TekLink implemented SAP Cloud applications and integrated various data sources at a large multinational clothing company. The TekLink Team utilized several vital processes to ensure that the implementation was seamless and practical. These processes included aligning IT Security Processes to meet specific business needs, defining role-based application security for SAP and Cloud Applications, and implementing security that complied with corporate audit requirements.
To begin the implementation process, the TekLink Team created subscriptions for SAC, Datasphere, and DI in the Development(Dev), Quality Assurance(QA), and Production (Prod) environments. The team selected the Dev Environment to develop, test, and refine the design and functionality in SAP Cloud Systems. The QA environment validated the design and functionality, tested data migration, and troubleshooted the problems. Lastly, the Prod environment was used for the final deployment of SAP Cloud. The Team established live connections to SAC and set up a BW Bridge in Datasphere to enable communication between on-premises S4HANA and the cloud.
Additionally, the TekLink Team implemented SAML2-based Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication to Datasphere, allowing users to access SAP Cloud Systems securely. On-premises Systems, including S4HANA and HANA Enterprise, are connected to Datasphere, facilitating seamless integration of on-premises data with SAP Cloud. The Team also connected on-premises S4HANA and Datasphere to SAC and DI to Datasphere to send reports to the on-premises S4HANA and Datasphere to SAC and DI to send reports to the on-premises SFTP Server. These systems allowed the company to extract real-time insights and make data-driven decisions.
Finally, TekLink’s Team performed critical administration tasks such as user provisioning, space allocation, certificate, maintenance, and troubleshooting data transfer and connection issues in SAC and HANA Cloud Systems. The Team adhered to corporate audit requirements by implementing security measures that included secure data transfer and communication, access control, and data encryption. They also defined role-based application security for SAP and Cloud applications, ensuring that only authorized personnel could access sensitive data.
