What is SAP Analytics Cloud?

Full name

SAP Analytics Cloud

Category

Data & Analytics

Typical roles

SAP Analytics Cloud Consultant, SAC Planning Specialist, SAP BI Developer

SAP Analytics Cloud brings reporting, dashboards and planning into a cloud environment. The quality of the experience depends on semantic modelling, data connectivity and governed metrics.

SAC presents insights and plans; Datasphere and BW/4HANA manage the underlying data layer.

A practical SAP Analytics Cloud engagement begins with an inventory of the installed product and release, affected business processes, connected systems and decision-makers. From there, the team can define scope, data and integration requirements, testing responsibilities and a realistic transition or support plan.
