SAP's 'Statement of Direction – SAP Data Services'

[Adam_Mayer]

In July 2024, SAP published a technology blog entitled Statement of Direction—SAP Data Services, in which it announced its 'plans to stop or reduce the scope of few functionalities', including 'Attunity aka Qlik Data Integration Platform.'

This statement refers to earlier, now defunct, integrations with Business Objects. Attunity built these integrations 10-15 years ago for Business Objects before the SAP acquisition. The integrations date back to Qlik's pre-acquisition of Attunity.

As these benign integrations are no longer in use, this change does not impact any of our customers, and there is no cause for concern.

SAP has published this statement of direction after reviewing the Business Objects suite and applying "end of life" to several of its products, including ending the support of an unused integration between Attunity and Business Objects Data Services.
