DownloadDon’t just generate figures with analytics and reporting, 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.
The SAP Analytics Cloud is the strategic product for visualizing and analyzing data. It also supports planning processes and forward-looking analyses, so-called predictive analytics.

DownloadBring planning and predictive analytics into line with reporting, regardless of the tool used
Planning is the “freestyle” analytics discipline. For no planning fits precisely and yet it is essential for the company to control business. Planning processes can be complex, for partial plans generally have very different horizons, degrees of detail, and influencing factors. However, in the end, the point is to have an agreed-upon, integrated overall plan in which all planning data is presented in a common context.
The SAP Analytics Cloud also supports planning thanks to ready-to-use planning models and various planning functions such as allocations, versioning, etc., which link actual reporting to forecasts and budgets. A special highlight is the value driver tree for simulating planning scenarios.

The SAP Business Planning & Consolidation (BPC) variants Standard (newly “optimized for S/4HANA”) and Embedded have different goals. SAP BPC Standard is normally used for small and medium-sized department-controlled planning and consolidation processes. SAP BPC Embedded has a sharply centralized, IT-driven focus and is normally used for larger solutions.
SAP BW-IP is an integrated environment within the business warehouse for recording plan figures, mapping planning processes, and linking them to the corresponding actual figures. With the help of numerous functions, plan figures can be converted, distributed, enriched, and validated, for example. In addition to SAP BPC and the SAP Analytics Cloud, many planning processes are supported by SAP BW-IP.
Get a grip on your data with the right data warehouse solution
A central data warehouse as single point of truth for the structured storage and evaluation of essential processes and data is still a central component of every IT architecture.
BW/4HANA is the latest generation of the classic SAP BW and is based completely on HANA technology. We help companies on their path to BW/4HANA and share our experience about greenfield, in-place, remote, and shell conversion with them.
With the BW version on HANA, many users are already taking a big step toward BW/4HANA. In the process, they are enjoying the benefits of HANA technology and preparing themselves optimally for BW/4HANA.
SQL-based data warehouse solutions can be developed with SAP HANA. The potential of the HANA technology with all existing functions, the machine learning library, algorithms, and the integration of R, Python, etc. supports a whole series of new use cases.
In addition to a SAP BW/4HANA, the SAP Data Warehouse Cloud / SAP Datasphere is a sensible extension of an existing business analytics architecture. With this tool, departments have the possibility to incorporate new data sources and produce data models and their own evaluations independent of their IT department.

The basis of every analysis is optimal data integration
