Regional Transport Authority BTP Data Discovery Advisory
Business Context
Agency Context
The Regional Transport Authority is a mid-sized public-sector body that plans and funds passenger
transport across a metropolitan region. It has recently begun a data initiative and has engaged an SAP BTP
solution architect for an early discovery engagement. The authority runs SAP applications for finance and
asset management, alongside several non-SAP operational systems for ticketing and scheduling.
Leadership wants to make better funding and service decisions from its own data, but the organization has
little prior experience treating data as a shared, reusable asset rather than as system-specific extracts.
Discovery Conversations
Across the first discovery workshops, a recurring pattern emerges. Whenever a department needs figures,
an analyst asks the finance or asset teams for a fresh extract, and each request is fulfilled as a one-off file
shaped to that request. The planning team, the grants team, and the internal audit function each hold their
own copy of what is essentially the same ridership-and-cost information, pulled at different times with
slightly different filters. Nobody can say confidently which copy is authoritative, and the same monthly
figure often appears with small differences in two reports presented to the board.
Consumption Landscape
Several downstream uses for the data are already lining up. A public transparency dashboard is planned, a
grants-reporting pack must be produced for a national funding body, and the planning team wants to
explore analytics on service coverage. Each of these consumers has been scoped, so far, as its own
pipeline pulling directly from the source systems. The architect notes that the ridership and subsidy figures
at the center of all three uses are the same underlying information, described and secured differently by
each team.
Governance Context
Because the authority is a public body, some of the data carries residency and disclosure obligations, and
passenger-level records are more sensitive than the aggregated figures used for public reporting. The
transparency dashboard is intended for open publication, while internal audit needs fuller detail. Today

, those boundaries are handled informally, decided per extract by whoever prepares the file. There is interest
in SAP Business Data Cloud as the direction for the authority's data foundation, though the team is still
learning what a governed data foundation would mean for how they work.
Delivery Pressure
The grants-reporting deadline is the nearest fixed date, and one manager has suggested simply scripting a
direct pull from the finance system into a spreadsheet for that report, to be safe. The planning lead,
meanwhile, is keen to start the coverage analytics quickly and has asked whether her team can just take a
copy of the raw source tables for now and sort out governance later. Both requests would meet an
immediate need, and both would add another uncontrolled copy of the same figures to a landscape that
already struggles to reconcile them.
Advisory Focus
The sponsor has asked the architect for a clear early recommendation on how the authority should position
this shared ridership-and-cost information for the several consumers now emerging, before any of the
individual pipelines are built. The engagement is still at discovery, so no target build has been committed;
the value of this stage is in setting the right foundation direction rather than in delivering a specific report.
Your assignment
You are acting as the SAP BTP solution architect engaged by the Regional Transport Authority for an early
data-discovery engagement. The authority is a public-sector body beginning its first structured data
initiative. Several consumers of the same ridership-and-cost information are emerging at once, delivery
pressure from a grants deadline is present, and the sponsor wants an early recommendation on how to
position this shared data before individual pipelines are built. Reason as an advisor applying the Data and
Analytics Advisory Methodology at concept level; do not assume a target build has been approved
1. CHALLENGE 1 -- Positioning Shared Transport Data as a Governed Product
Advise the sponsor on whether the shared ridership-and-cost information should be positioned as a
governed, reusable data product or delivered as separate extracts for each consumer.
Frame the recommendation in terms of reuse across the transparency dashboard, grants pack, and
coverage analytics, at a discovery altitude, without committing to specific services or a build design.
Explain what defining the data once as a product changes for consumers that appear later, including how
