Bringing Data Access and Analysis to all Businesspeople with Phocas SoftwareIn the current corporate landscape, aligning data across the enterprise for robust decision-making presents a continuous challenge for many organizations. The vast amount of data that organizations produce is not only difficult to handle, but also even more challenging to analyze due to data complexity or a lack of in-house expertise. Additionally, with businesses drawing data from various sources including ERPs, finance, sales, or operational systems, and external parties, complexities escalate and complicate the integration of comprehensive business data. Manual integration of data is an arduous and time-intensive task, often requiring specialized skills. Consequently, only a few people hold and comprehend this data, which creates a bottleneck when there is a need for quick decisions and effective analysis based on accurate, real-time data. Integrating a business planning and analytics platform can significantly reduce the hassle of data management. Phocas Software provides a business planning platform that manages all your data and is compatible with more than 200 data sources enabling financial and operational data integration. Phocas is an all-in-one platform for business planning and analytics - connecting everyone with the information they need, when they need it.

From Idea to InnovationNoele Crooks will present Idea to Innovation: How the San Francisco 49ers Use Real-Time Analytics to Enhance the Fan Experience at MASTERINGSAP. Crooks sat down to share a preview of her presentation.
With only ten home games a year, the 49ers needed a way to operationalize and visualize their data, in-real time, to help resolve stadium issues and improve the fan experience. Prior to the SAP BTP solution, the analytics and operations teams didn’t have insight into gameday issues fans faced until 2-3 days after the game, when analyzing the survey results. The Executive Huddle is a real-time SAP Analytics Cloud data center in a suite used for 49ers games and major events. It has over ten different data integrations feeding into SAP HANA Cloud. SAP Analytics Cloud enables the visualization of that data in the dashboards, which update every one to five minutes on game day, allowing the team to respond to fan issues in real time.
This initiative has allowed the 49er’s to optimize the fan experience by addressing feedback in real time, with most stadium issues resolved in 10 minutes or less, uncovered opportunities across retail, concessions, and stadium operations to resolve 200+ issues since the launch of the Executive Huddle and SAP BTP solution. Plus obtain more insight into the data through SAP Analytics Cloud dashboards which has led to a 43% increase in fan satisfaction.

Enabling Real Time Insights Into Sustainability In Today’s NFL StadiumAs part of the 49ers sustainability initiative, the Executive Huddle presented by SAP was upgraded this season with new capabilities allowing the team to monitor Levi’s Stadium utility usage, allowing them to monitor consumption of water and gas.
To get access to real-time utility data, six 3D-printed water and gas meter readers that feed data directly into the Executive Huddle were installed. To get data from the meters into the HANA Cloud system and available in the SAC Digital Boardroom, pictures of those meters are taken and converted into data. Cameras and Raspberry Pi devices are used that take a picture every minute and send this data to a Google Cloud storage bucket. Those cameras and Raspberry Pi devices are built into a 3D-printed customized housing for each meter. The housing is removable, as meters also need to be accessed by the utility companies. Once the pictures arrive in the storage bucket, they get processed by a Python script which translates the pictures into data. This data is loaded into SAP BTP HANA cloud and stored there. Some additional calculations are done on HANA Cloud in order to calculate the consumption in that time interval. All data is processed and then visualized in an SAC dashboard.
In this session:
How to get data from the meters into the HANA Cloud system and available in the SAC digital boardroom
Preview of the data insights on water and gas usage on gameday used by the 49ers
How the 49ers are using real-time data to resolve issues during gameday for fans
