Analytics, planning, and insight
What is SAP Analytics Cloud (SAP SAC)?
SAP Analytics Cloud is a cloud-based analytics solution that brings business intelligence, planning, predictive capabilities, data preparation, and data discovery into one environment.
It can help organizations discover, plan, predict, and collaborate while analysts create visual narratives for important business areas and IT teams govern the underlying data. Interactive visuals and shared planning context can support faster answers to business questions when the source data, definitions, security, refresh cycles, and ownership are reliable.
