SAP Analytics Cloud Planning is a cloud-based solution that combines business intelligence (BI),
planning, and predictive analytics into a single platform. It enables users to create financial and
operational plans, perform real-time analysis, and collaborate effectively using a unified interface.
SAC Planning provides data-driven planning capabilities that allow organizations to:
• Build driver-based and predictive planning models
• Integrate actuals with planning data for better forecasting
• Perform what-if scenario analysis to assess different business conditions
• Enable real-time collaboration among stakeholders
Yes! SAC Planning can connect to various data sources, including:
• SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW, SAP BPC (for actuals and master data)
• Non-SAP databases and cloud solutions (e.g., Google BigQuery, Snowflake, MS Excel, and
more)
• APIs and custom connectors for additional integration flexibilityNotium wants to improve and contribute digital transformation journey of companies through SAP Applications and services. We know SAP customers have a vast amount of enterprise data assets flowing through SAP ERP and cloud applications and business networks every day. SAP enterprise resource planning applications touch 77% of global transaction revenue, we run the world’s largest business network with over US$3.6 trillion in commerce annually, and we have over 200 million users of our cloud applications.
SAP software and technologies can deliver deep value to our customers by providing the tools to harness the power of the data flowing through their systems. Our vision for the intelligent enterprise is an event-driven, real-time business powered by intelligent applications and platforms. In this vision, enterprise data sits at the core of a virtuous cycle whereby:
- Enterprises will combine proprietary data assets from their internal systems of record with real-time, external data feeds to train intelligent algorithms.
- Intelligent algorithms will be embedded into core business processes to enable enterprises to increase their awareness of events and respond in real-time.
- As the cycle repeats itself, enterprises will produce even richer datasets based on business outcomes that can be used to train the next generation of increasingly intelligent algorithms.
By embedding intelligence in core processes, businesses of all sizes will benefit from the automation of routine tasks and improved decision-making driven by advanced analytics.
Combining intelligent algorithms with empowered employees will allow companies to free up scarce resources to focus on what matters most – driving value for their customers. In this way, we can fulfil our promise of enabling our customers to Run Simple while helping the world run better and improving people’s lives.
