As there can be no doubt that this is a current trend, however, SAP is trying to jump on the bandwagon with SAC. <br \/>The user is therefore offered two options for the presentation and visualisation of data: Analytical Applications and Stories.<\/p><p>In this respect, the analytical applications are intended for the mapping of complex requirements. They are more complex to create than Stories, and they require more technical know-how. Therefore, a certain affinity for IT as well as programming and scripting experience is necessary in the specialist department.<\/p><p>Stories, on the other hand, are intended more for visualising simple scenarios and can be learned quickly, making them ideal for Self Service BI.<\/p><p>In addition to clarifying the requirements and matching them with the functionalities offered by the SAC, the question of \u201cwhat can I entrust to employees?\u201d is therefore important here. It is important to avoid making the mistake of simply letting the staff loose on the application. And if it turns out that the technical know-how isn\u2019t available in the specialist department, it also makes sense to consider a hybrid world. This means that the Stories are developed in the specialist departments, but the analytical applications are programmed in the IT department.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca677c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca677c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Two worlds versus one world in terms of planning and reporting<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2c3659e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2c3659e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8481877\" data-id=\"8481877\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cdec70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3cdec70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a comprehensive 3 -in-1 solution: It combines the functions of business intelligence (BI), planning and analytics (predictive and augmented) in one tool. For users, it is most helpful to think of the whole thing as a platform that gives me an integrated view of my planning and reporting applications. Everything happens in the same place and in a uniform environment. There are similar input fields for both the reporting and the planning applications, for example, which naturally means a huge boost in terms of usability. This factor can be put to good use to make users less shy or reluctant about using the new application.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-947982c\" data-id=\"947982c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-774bc14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"774bc14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"414\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/SAC_Universum.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-54756\" alt=\"SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/SAC_Universum.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/SAC_Universum-292x300.jpg 292w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Source: help.sap.com<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db75592 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db75592\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) in the context of xP&amp;A<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2cee8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b2cee8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It has become common knowledge that uncertainty in a VUCA world can only be addressed with a more agile approach to planning.<\/p><p>In SAC, this change in the planning paradigm is supported by several ready-made solutions, for forecasting or value-driver-based planning, for example. In addition to this, for the first time, SAC provides the possibility for linking the financial and operational planning on a single platform and therefore taking another important step towards agility. This is achieved by linking SAC with SAP IBP (Integrated Business Planning) and SAP IFP (Integrated Financial Planning). To take full advantage of these new technical possibilities, I naturally need an intensive consideration and discussion regarding an integrated planning process across all specialist departments beforehand. Sufficient time should be given to this factor when planning a corresponding project, as this decides how successfully the project goals can ultimately be achieved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f735b93 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f735b93\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a37166b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a37166b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A planning or reporting project on the SAP Analytics Cloud always means switching to a completely new world. Take this into account when planning such a project, especially when it comes to preparing the specialist department for the project. It will not be possible to perform a straightforward 1:1 transformation. Our experience shows that, especially in the planning environment, a switch to the SAP Analytics Cloud isn\u2019t just a technical project. You should take business and organisational issues into account. However, this should be seen as an opportunity to establish the topic of planning on a future-proof, agile and flexible basis in the company.
