How Can SAP Analytics Cloud Benefit Your Company?
SAC is a cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) product that provides large-scale data visualization. It collates data from various sources, including your ERP system, external data providers, or flat-file uploads like Excel spreadsheets. SAC can scrutinize your data to identify relationships and trends that help business leaders make decisions leading to success and growth.
The more data you have, the more insights you gain. It's essential to integrate SAC with all your business systems – financial, operational, logistical, and others – to ensure that you have a comprehensive view of your business to make data-driven decisions.
SAC is powerful yet user-friendly. You don't need to be an IT expert to run reports and visualizations. Key people in any department can be rapidly trained on SAC to obtain the business intelligence they require when they need it.
Main Features of SAP Analytics Cloud
Data Access. SAC can connect with several data sources, including flat files, OData services, SQL databases, and has deep integrations with the SAP family of business solutions. It can import data into cloud storage for analysis, or it can read directly from SAP systems, querying and calculating results in real time.
Data Modeling. This feature enables you to refine your results to extract the precise information you need. You can add indicators and formulas and modify values accordingly.
Data Visualization. A picture is worth a thousand words, and transforming statistics gathered from your business data into visuals like charts and graphs helps you identify changing trends quickly, providing you with the knowledge you need to adjust course.
