The Use of SAP Analytics Cloud in Corporate Management and Planning
SAP Analytics Cloud can be used flexibly within corporate management and, unlike other established reporting tools, extends its functionality to include corporate planning. From financial reporting or budget planning to personnel or material planning, there are no limits. Some examples are:
-
Financial reporting and planning
The SAP Analytics Cloud offers the possibility to set up finance-specific planning figures with the help of predefined forecasting techniques and to constantly keep track of this data through real-time visualization. The automated creation of reporting dashboards and planning reports supports financial managers in the implementation of internal control and planning processes. The SAC provides insights into overarching processes and thus generates more intelligent future decisions. In short, the SAP Analytics Cloud can be used to relieve financial managers in the reporting and planning of their key financial figures and thus increase the success of the company.
-
Budget and cost center planning
SAC provides analysis and insight into all key planning activities required for organizational budget planning. By applying intelligent prediction models, automated calculations and dynamic visualizations, corresponding key figures are intelligently planned. The tool allows for the planning of any hierarchical cost structure and can also take into account the finest cost centers. The application companies are provided with accurate forecasts for their budget and expenditure categories and cost saving potentials can be realized. An integrated simulation technology allows users to map different budgeting scenarios - ideal for companies aiming for a flexible budget system.
-
Material planning
SAP Analytics Cloud also provides companies with a range of functionalities to support them in material planning. These include, for example, various forecast scenarios for material consumption or the delivery times of necessary resources. In addition, SAP Analytics Cloud can be used to analyze the effects of price and exchange rate changes on the purchase of raw materials. Using the data mining tool, patterns in sales data can be identified, enabling companies to improve their material demand forecasting. Planning reports provide a detailed picture of inventory levels and order patterns, enabling companies to plan more efficiently.
-
Workforce planning
Using advanced analytics tools and technologies, better workforce planning decisions can be made. SAC gathers data from heterogeneous sources to generate a better understanding of specific aspects of workforce needs. This research integrates examining trends in demographic characteristics, comparing the cost-effectiveness of simulated approaches, and modeling the impact of different workforce configurations on productivity and turnover. By predicting future demand for qualified personnel, SAC assists in the efficient deployment of human resources.
Technical Requirements
The SAP Analytics Cloud is used and administered web-based regardless of whether the data sources are in the cloud or managed on-premise. Data stocks from SAP and non-SAP source systems can be made usable without having to implement complex technologies or programs. Furthermore, the SAC can also be integrated directly with SAP S/4HANA - so it is not only an automated solution for other SAP applications, but also provides real-time information about the overall business.
