SAP Analytics Cloud

SAP Analytics Cloud is a cloud-based solution for performance management, analysis and planning, particularly well suited to the SAP ecosystem. It brings together budgets, forecasts, simulations, dashboards and management data, with strong integration with SAP S/4HANA.

SAP Analytics Cloud

Key strengths

  • Native integration with SAP data and processes, particularly SAP S/4HANA.
  • Combines planning and analysis on a single platform, making variance analysis and performance monitoring easier.
  • Covers budgets, rolling forecasts, simulations, strategic plans and investment plans.
  • Suitable for detailed financial models: costs, margins, allocations, cash flow and workforce planning.

Where this solution fits

  • Groups or companies already equipped with SAP, or engaged in an SAP S/4HANA programme.
  • Finance departments seeking to standardise budgeting, forecasting, budget monitoring and variance analysis.
  • Structured organisations involving finance, sales, human resources and operations in planning.
  • Projects with data governance and IT resources capable of managing integrations.

Points to validate

  • Significantly more valuable in an SAP environment; assess non-SAP interfaces and multiple data repositories.
  • Less suitable when the priority is statutory consolidation, closing or specialised regulatory reporting.
  • Test volumes, level of detail and calculation times using real-world cases.
