Moving SAP Analysis for Office to SAP Analytics Cloud

The ability to schedule reports and broadcast reports to targeted users are important capabilities for most organizations to fulfill the need for timely, accurate and complete information across the spectrum of users. Analysis for Office (AfO) reports are a critical report type for countless organizations, and the need for AfO report scheduling and broadcasting is just as important as it is for SAP Analytics Cloud stories and applications.

Many organizations have not been able to move beyond their SAP BusinessObjects deployment because no AfO scheduling and broadcast solution has been available in SAP Analytics Cloud. For such organizations, Analysis for Office may be the only reason they are maintaining their SAP BusinessObjects system. Maintaining the SAP BusinessObjects system means that it ties up valuable system management resources and keeps the organization from adopting new infrastructure and licensing, and their personnel from embracing new skill sets.
