How to streamline reporting

How to streamline reporting in key areas of business management? Can it be done in a short time? Can SAP software help with this? The answer to all these questions is YES!

SAP Analytics Cloud, which is what we are talking about, is an analytical platform from SAP SE that is becoming an increasingly popular tool for financial reporting in commercial companies and public institutions. This is due to a number of advantages that this software offers compared to traditional reporting methods:

  • Data visualization: SAP Analytics Cloud allows you to create interactive and informative data visualizations that make it easier to understand complex financial information. 
  • Connection to various data sources: SAP Analytics Cloud can connect to various data sources, such as spreadsheets, databases, and ERP systems, making it easy to collect all financial data in one place. 
  • Accessibility: SAP Analytics Cloud is cloud-based, allowing users to access reports from anywhere. 
  • Ease of use: SAP Analytics Cloud is relatively easy to use, even for users without extensive data analysis experience. 
  • Customization: SAP Analytics Cloud can be customized to meet the specific needs of a business, allowing for the creation of reports that are relevant to users.
Better reports with SAC. Where to start?

If you are looking for a solution that is comprehensive, easy to use, and secure, SAP Analytics Cloud may be the right choice for you. Especially since getting started with this tool does not require large investments of time and money.

The basic scenario for implementing SAP Analytics Cloud in the reporting area involves the following steps:

2 to 5 days for consultations with our experts who will discuss with you the selected options for using SAC, and then prepare a business concept for using this tool in your company. 

Integration of SAC with your ERP system and other data sources that we will jointly define in the business concept. 

Configuration of four basic reports and one optional report in SAC. The basic set includes such reports as:

  • P&L - including current monitoring of plan vs. actual deviations
  • Margin report (margin I st, II st, III st.)
  • Accounts receivable/payable
  • Payment delays

An additional optional report is selected from a set of operational reports, such as:

  • Orders vs. sales report - including budget/estimate fulfillment.
  • Back office management operational report
  • Complaints

All proposed reports will take into account the specifics of your company, i.e. the company's organizational structure (divisions, departments, sections, subsidiaries, etc.) and the structure of the offer.

Who is our "SAC starter package" for?

Our offer is aimed at companies using SAP ERP software: SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC 6.0 (ABAP 7.5 or SAP HANA database). Another group of users for whom SAC will be a natural step in their development are companies using SAP BW or BW/4HANA systems.

As far as data sources are concerned, our reports can be based on both the above-mentioned standard SAP sources (S4HANA, BW, ECC), as well as external sources, such as Oracle, Dynamics, Impuls, MS SQL and many others. Details are agreed upon during the first step, i.e. during consultations and creation of a business concept.

Implementation time: approx. 4 weeks.

The final price and implementation time depend on many factors: the target number of reports, additional system functionalities, the number of data sources and their implementation technology, or the number of users. More information on this topic can be obtained from our sales representatives and during dedicated webinars that we can conduct at your convenience.
