SAP Analytics Cloud
Alignment of SAP Analytics Cloud with Trends in Analytics
SAP Analytics Cloud is an evolution of SAP’s initial business intelligence (BI) offering as an extension of its all-inclusive SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW) product. But this evolution in the form of SAP Analytics Cloud also aligns with three top trends in today’s rapidly evolving data and analytics solutions landscape, as identified in SAPinsider research report Enterprise Data and Analytics State of The Market.
Top Analytics Trends and Their Alignment with SAP Analytics Cloud
Trend 1: The future of data and analytics is in the cloud
The critical technology drivers of analytics transitioning to the cloud are the ability to scale quickly, enterprise-wide collaboration capability, and flexibility in systems capabilities, according to SAPinsider’s research report The Future of Business Intelligence. SAP Analytics Cloud leverages all these benefits and combines them with its domain depth acquired from decades of market leadership in enterprise systems.

SAP Analytics Cloud leverages all these benefits and combines them with its domain depth acquired from decades of market leadership in enterprise systems.
Trend 2: Democratization of data and analytics
Democratization of data, in the form of easy access to data for moderately skilled staff, “self-service” analytics, and easy and intuitive user interfaces are quickly becoming the new normal. SAP Analytics Cloud fits in there as well by providing self-service, AI-guided analytics features for functional managers, who are not data scientists or technical managers.
Trend 3: Cross-functional data and analytics platforms are becoming a necessity
Organizations understand that siloed view into data and siloed analytics do not yield the results they need to build a highly interconnected and resilient enterprise in this digital age. SAP Analytics Cloud addresses that need ideally by allowing it to be used as a collaborative enterprise planning tool.
