SAP Analytics Cloud − the all-in-one solution

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a comprehensive 3-in-1 solution: it combines the functions of business intelligence, planning and predictive analytics in one tool and enables real-time data analyses from the cloud. It is no longer necessary to switch back and forth between different tools. Everything happens in the same place and in a uniform environment, thus reducing the number of media breaks. Predictive analytics and machine learning are also included, so you can make informed decisions across your organization for better business results with just one solution.

All-rounder in the area of business analytics

As Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), SAP Analytics Cloud is exclusively web-based. It has a modular structure and is highly scalable. This makes it equally suitable as an ad-hoc reporting tool for individual departments and as a comprehensive, company-wide business intelligence solution. With the help of the integrated SAP Analytics Cloud, you can complete all tasks within a single, user-friendly interface with the familiar look and feel of SAP Fiori.

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) centrally accesses data from the cloud and on-premise systems and from SAP and non-SAP systems. Users filter, edit and model the data and build meaningful graphics, tables, charts and entire storyboards with drag-and-drop ease. Keep track of your key performance indicators with customized dashboards and share your insights with other users.

Plan uniformly across the company

Collaborative business planning lays the foundation for better business results by enabling users across the organization to align their plans and have a common set of data. Traditionally, the budgeting and forecasting process has resided in the finance department. However, there are many other company departments that carry out their own planning. And these in turn have an impact on the overall planning prepared by the finance department.

In view of these dependencies, it is crucial for efficient planning that the environments of the specialized departments − sales, marketing, human resources or supply chain − are connected to the finance environment. This is precisely where Collaborative Enterprise Planning from SAP Analytics Cloud comes into play: collaborative planning connects the different planning levels with each other and takes the respective data into account.

SAP Analytics Cloud is a suitable platform for ensuring close cooperation between several company departments in planning. In doing so, the specialist departments can draw on a large number of ready-made templates provided by SAP.
