Make BDC Work Harder for Your Business
BDC Managed Services
Keep BDC Performing, Governed, and Ready for Business AI
Getting SAP Business Data Cloud live is an important milestone. Keeping it operating, governed, and aligned to business value is where the next challenge begins.
Once the BDC foundation is in place, organizations need reliable pipeline operations, strong governance, production-ready architecture, and a practical way to build the custom data products the business needs. Without the right operating model, BDC can become another platform the internal team has to manage, monitor, and continually optimize.
Lemongrass helps organizations operate, extend, and govern BDC with managed services designed to keep the estate healthy, scalable, and ready for AI-driven use cases.
The challenge after BDC go-live
Many organizations treat BDC implementation as the finish line. In practice, go-live is only the start. Pipelines need to be monitored. Spaces and access must be governed. Data products need to evolve as business needs change. Legacy BW workloads may still need to be shifted, decommissioned, or redesigned. And, as AI adoption grows, the business needs trusted, governed data products that can support production use cases.
Without ongoing operational support, internal teams can quickly become responsible for a platform they were not staffed to run.
What Lemongrass does differently
Lemongrass provides the operational layer that helps organizations move from BDC live to BDC mature.
We combine managed operations, data product development, architecture governance, and center of excellence support into one model. The goal is not just to keep BDC running. It is to help the business use BDC as a governed, scalable foundation for analytics, AI, and continuous innovation.
When these responsibilities are not clearly owned, the business experiences delays, friction, and unnecessary operational noise.
How we support BDC
BDC Operate
Managed services for day-to-day BDC operations, including pipeline monitoring, spaces management, access control, and break-fix support. Your BDC estate stays healthy without adding operational overhead to your internal team.
Architecture Best Practices and Production Readiness
Support to ensure what was built during the Starter Kit or initial deployment is production-ready, scalable, and aligned to enterprise standards. Lemongrass helps close the gap between initial implementation and long-term operational reliability.
BW Shift and Innovate
A structured path to migrate, phase, and decommission legacy BW workloads into BDC. This helps reduce business disruption while modernizing the underlying data estate.
Custom Data Product Development
Design and build custom data products and use cases that go beyond SAP standard capabilities. Lemongrass helps organizations create governed, business-specific data products within the BDC environment.
BDC Center of Excellence
A governance framework, operating model, and ongoing oversight structure that embeds BDC capability into the organization. This helps teams standardize decision-making, manage change, and scale adoption across the business.

Start with a BDC Managed Services Conversation
The best starting point is a focused conversation about your current BDC environment, operating model, support needs, and data product roadmap.
From there, Lemongrass can define the right managed services scope, identify governance gaps, and recommend the next steps to move from BDC live to BDC mature.
