SAP Analytics Cloud is a cloud-based solution that combines business intelligence, enterprise planning, and augmented analytics in a single solution. Built on SAP Business Technology Platform, it helps you eliminate point solutions and break down data silos with a secure, cloud-based approach. Rather than relying on standalone spreadsheets, or separate, disconnected reporting and planning tools, users have everything they need, embedded where they work, to make fast, confident decisions together.
Intelligent decisions are part of a continuous process. All organizations must plan, discovery, analyze, predict, and act. There is significant advantage to doing this together and all in one place enabled by technology. The reality in many enterprises is that these activities are disconnected. Data engineers are tasked with data tracking, data analysts and data scientists are tasked with analyzing the data, and the results of the analysis are delivered to another group of decision makers, whose decisions are then passed along to employees who act based on the decisions. It is rare for one software package to support two or more of these activities. Without visibility across the whole process, it is difficult for an enterprise to learn. Missing functionality across this process often results in a lack of evaluating alternatives, understanding risk and constraints, and prescribing next best actions.
