SAP Analytics Cloud

Next-generation business intelligence, planning and analytics

Learn about the simple and effective cloud solution that combines business intelligence, predictive analytics, and planning functions.

Companies already produce enormous amounts of data every day and experts expect the annual data growth to increase by around 30 percent in the next years. Consequently, companies are increasingly overwhelmed by the speed and management of these growing, variable data sets in technological, personnel and organizational terms. Thus, the information overload becomes one of the biggest barriers in the digital transformation.

Accordingly, only those companies remain viable in the future that are able to distinguish valuable, relevant data from redundant, outdated data and derive strategically important decisions from the former.

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is the simple cloud solution that gives you that competitive edge.

SAP Analytics Cloud Product Overview

Watch on

SAP Analytics Cloud is a data management and analytics solution built on the SAP Cloud Platform (SCP). Powered by artificial intelligence, it combines business intelligence (BI), advanced analytics, predictive analytics, and business planning in one centralized solution.

SAC builds a central access point to all internal and external company data. This includes data from other SAP solutions, but also from third-party systems like Salesforces or Microsoft Excel. Therefore SAC enables organizations to improve decision making processes based on accurate data analysis and data correlations and provides visualization features, as well as planning and forecasting functions.

Furthermore the SAC can be seamlessly integrated into the on-premises and cloud variants of SAP S/4HANA and can be used in future-oriented hybrid architectures comprising SAP and non-SAP applications.

Business intelligence (BI)

SAC gathers data from all internal and external company sources. Automated data cleansing and error warning ensure improved data quality. With intuitive, real-time analysis solutions, users can evaluate company-wide data with just a few clicks and present findings in ad-hoc reports using interactive, smart visualization features.

Business planning

By connecting planning and reporting tools in one central solution, analysis results can feed directly into financial planning processes. Forecasting and machine learning are used to gain insights into the key drivers of business success. Drag-and-drop reporting, automatic dissemination and integrated collaboration features accelerate processes and facilitate sharing within the organization.

Predictive analytics

Artificial intelligence and embedded machine learning help identify key contributors of performance and uncover hidden outliers and patterns. The innovative technology simulates alternative courses of action to generate forecasts – making truly data-driven decisions quickly and confidently.

With SAP Analytics Cloud we have full visibility into our business operations with powerful dashboards that are shared across our international operations. With this real-time insight we make informed decisions that drive business results
