What does SAP Analytics Cloud offer?<\/h2>\n

With the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) solution, SAP is constantly pursuing its own cloud strategy. SAC is a software as a service (SaaS) solution with high functionality.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With this cloud-based solution, a business can combine, visualize, and have information and analytics on data from different sources in real time.<\/p>\n

Advantages of SAP Analytics Cloud<\/h3>\n

With SAP Analytics Cloud, analysis and function planning can be performed in a single application. In addition, companies can benefit from new technologies such as machine learning through the cloud with access whenever desired.<\/p>\n

As part of an intelligent enterprise strategy, a business should implement SAP Analytics Cloud in the cloud suite.<\/p>\n

Similarly, SAP offers the solution on the premises of the SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence (SBOP BI) platform, a suite for reporting, visualization, and shared data usage. The product is currently available without restrictions.<\/p>\n

Cloud Analytics Technologies<\/h4>\n

SAP Analytics Cloud utilizes cutting-edge technologies from the SAP Business Technology Platform, enabling the greatest possible compatibility with data sources, maximum data security, and availability.<\/p>\n

Companies do not need additional servers, databases, or complex installation and update processes. With SAC, companies can connect and link local or cloud data sources and analyze data in just a few steps using Smart Assist functions with Predictive Analytics.<\/p>\n

What is the objective of SAP Analytics Cloud?<\/h2>\n

The objective is to make all analysis functions available in a single product for all users, that is, for end users, decision-makers, and IT departments.<\/p>\n

SAC offers analysis, planning, and forecasting in real time in a single application. This makes SAC a complete BI tool in itself that can function independently of other SAP applications, but it doesn't necessarily have to.<\/p>\n

The user can access data from internal and external sources, perform planning that includes predictive models, and also visualize everything in the same tool.<\/p>\n
