Cloud analytics is the use of remote public or private computing resources—known as the cloud—to analyse data on demand. Cloud computing analytics help streamline the process of gathering, integrating, analysing, and presenting insights to enhance business decision-making.

There are a few reasons why SAP Analytics Cloud is different from other cloud analytics solutions:

• SAP Analytics Cloud brings together analytics and planning in a single solution in the cloud. You can instantly move from insight to action, simulate any scenario for better business outcomes, and generate plans from predictions automatically to drive agile decisions.

• As the analytics and planning layer of SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Analytics Cloud supports analytics and planning enterprise-wide with smooth integration into SAP applications and sources. With our portfolio of data and analytics solutions, you can utilise the full context of SAP data and bring analytics closer to the point of decision with embedded analytics in your SAP cloud applications for lines of business.

• SAP Analytics Cloud comes with over 100 pre-built best-practice SAP business content packages across lines of business and industries to accelerate analytics and planning projects.

• SAP Analytics Cloud can enable you to create bleeding-edge analytics with a complete solution. It automates insights with machine learning and allows you to compose specialised analytics apps faster and deliver high-performance analytics at scale.

SAP Analytics Cloud can connect to various on-premises and cloud data sources, including SAP HANA, SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, SAP BusinessObjects solutions, SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, SQL, OData, Google BigQuery, and many more. You aren’t required to move or replicate the solution to the cloud when connecting to on-premises data sources.
