An analysis tool for the entire value chain

Business decisions are always based on information. Decisions can therefore only ever be as good as the information on which they are based. Up-to-date data is a decisive competitive advantage for companies.

The digital transformation means that the volume, variety, and importance of data are constantly increasing. The SAP Analytics Cloud software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering is based on the SAP cloud platform and thus provides all the benefits of SAP Hana in-memory technology.

While analysis solutions have so far mostly relied on data from the previous day, the new real-time solution allows business processes to be adapted very quickly to new situations or even individually to customers.

For companies - no matter what size - suitable business intelligence applications and advanced analytics are becoming increasingly important. For the first time, SAP Analytics Cloud combines the three analytical areas of business intelligence, planning and simulation/forecasting in one tool.

SAC thus provides an alternative to decentralized isolated solutions, minimizes maintenance and training efforts, and reduces compliance risks. Business departments in companies control and manage the application independently without significant support from the IT department.

With the help of the intuitive user interface, users can compile dashboards, data models and allocations at will using drag-and-drop. In addition, historical and real-time data can be analyzed at various levels and corresponding simulations and forecasts can be derived.

Integrated workflows and communication tools facilitate collaboration in teams and enable joint work on reports, evaluations, simulations and planning.

Today, analysis tools like SAC are relevant in almost all industries. This new solution is aimed at users who need fast and powerful reporting for planning, simulations or immediate process adjustments, making it just as interesting for management as for production or on-site in a store.

In a store, the analytics tool can be used to output information about the number of customers, their buying behavior and product preferences. In this way, advertising, playlists and offers can be individualized.

With and without SAP environment

No special system requirements are necessary to use the browser-based solution. It can be put into operation without complex installation. Hana forms the basis for the live data connection. The SAP Analytics Cloud can be seamlessly integrated into existing SAP environments and includes all analysis tools including mobile applications with one log-in.

But customers without an SAP environment can also use the analysis tool. Called up via a browser, SAC accesses a wide variety of company data, regardless of whether it is a third-party ERP system or a simple Excel list.

SAC is operated in SAP's own data centers, so customers can determine for themselves which data centers they use the solution from. For the visualization of analyses, for example in spreadsheets, dashboards or infographics, the Digital Boardroom is available as an add-on to the SAP Analytics Cloud.

As an SAP Cloud Focus Partner, Allgeier ES specializes in the development and implementation of SAP solutions. In addition, the company itself also works with SAP S/4 Hana Public Cloud and the SAC connected to it. This results in various advantages for customers.

By implementing many SAP solutions for customers in very different industries, our customers benefit from the best-practice use and templates already developed. This allows us to react flexibly to specific industry requirements and the SAP Analytics Cloud is ready for deployment very quickly.
