What is the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)?

The SAP Analytics Cloud is an Advanced Analytics Platform that combines visualization and analysis of your data with forecasting and planning functions, all in a single application. This enables you to take the step from business intelligence to business analytics.

With the solution as your analysis and planning tool, you can not only report figures, you can also generate insights! If you want to make decisions, you need facts and information in clear forms and displays. As complex and multi-layered as the data’s path from collection to reporting may be, in the end, what matters is a clear, meaningful visualization. This is where customers trust IBCS. Furthermore, the Smart Discovery and Smart Insights machine learning functions integrated into the SAP Analytics Cloud help a great deal with analyses. New insights can flow directly into your planning models or be used for forecasts and target-actual comparisons so that you can always keep an eye on your company’s status quo and increase your reaction speed.
