FAQ

FAQ

What is SAP Analytics Cloud?

SAP’s SaaS analytics solution: BI, planning and AI-assisted predictive analytics, connected live to S/4HANA, BW/4HANA and Datasphere, and open to non-SAP sources.

Can we plan our budget with SAC?

Yes: budget, rolling forecasts and simulations in the same models as reporting.
A first budget cycle can be rolled out in three to four months.

Does SAC integrate with S/4HANA?

Natively: SAC reads CDS views over a live connection, without replication.
For history and multiple sources, data flows through Datasphere or BW/4HANA.

How does SAC compare with a classic BI tool?

A BI tool reports; SAC also lets you plan, with workflows, versions and collaborative input, connected live to SAP models.
It is part of SAP Business Data Cloud.
