SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)
SAC is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) connecting people, data & ideas from multiple sources to enable
fast & confident decision making. It allows users to discover, visualize, plan & predict all in one place.

Business Pain Points
Widely used local reporting & planning Complex management reports based on
solutions are not natively integrated with gold financial & non-financial data are prepared
standard SAP solutions like SAP S/4HANA or using Excel & PowerPoint, static reporting
SAP BW/4HANA, unable to effectively leverage without option to drill down to details
data out of SAP systems for reporting, business
planning and forecasting activities
Clients face data silos & redundantly
No flexibility and standards in stored data , critical information is stored
integration of data from multiple SAP & in Excel files and remains unmanaged
non-SAP data sources (no single source of truth)
Client Pain Points
Lack of further data insights & transparency in
Excessive Data loads / data feed processes, collaborative planning processes (phone calls & e-
data preparation/transformation & harmonization mail communication), Enterprises looking to
required before reporting & planning can be simplify finance processes and reduce maintenance
executed overhead

data based on SAP data sources. The report displays cost related KPIs such Primary Cost, Net Costs and
LTIP. Donut and stacked bar charts of different types are included in the story to display the data visually.
The SAC story includes input controls which allow the user to interactively choose the selected data
displayed in the Story sheets.

+ Standard API view for external applications + SAC source view is not changed at all, stays stable
+ Extension should still work with upgrade except there is drastic change in views + No impact on existing consumers which use A_CostCenter
- Potential impact on existing consumers which use A_CostCenter - limited risk since A_ views are not - Potentially adjustments in two views required if orginal and custom views are
used internally in SAP used in external applications
- Upgrade could change A_CostCenter and therefore potentially source data for SAC - limited risk - View will not be upgraded
since views are released and are not changed regularly, e.g. fields are generally not removed
