SAP Analytics Cloud
– modern analytics and planning layer
What is SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)?
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is SAP's cloud-based platform that combines business analytics, data visualization, and planning in a single environment.
The solution supports organizations in the following areas:
- management and operational reporting,
- financial and operational planning,
- data analysis in a self-service model,
- creating dashboards and KPIs,
- scenario analysis and predictive functions,
- data integration from multiple SAP and non-SAP sources.
A shared environment means better business decisions
SAC allows you to build a coherent decision-making environment based on current business data. It is ideal for applications where:
- Subsequent versions of the budget are circulating in emails.
- It takes a week (or longer) to gather the data for the forecast.
- Different numbers in different reports
- Reporting takes longer than the Management Board expects.
Why do companies choose SAC?
As the pace of business development and scale increase, traditional reporting is no longer sufficient:
Organizations today need quick access to information, the ability to model scenarios, and consistent data available for multiple business areas simultaneously.
SAP Analytics Cloud supports this management model, reducing reliance on manual processes and distributed tools. The benefits of implementing SAC include:
- Increased decision-making speed
- Improved management data quality
- Less manual work and greater planning convenience
- Greater precision in analyses, simulations, and forecasts
SAC Applications:
- Financial Planning and Budgeting
- Controlling and Ratio Analysis
- Controlling Reporting
- Dashboards and Management Reporting
- Sales and Performance Forecasting
- What-If and Drill Down Analysis
- ...whatever your imagination suggests!

Schedule a dedicated webinar about SAP Analytics Cloud.
During the webinar, we'll show you how to: shorten analysis time, organize data, and streamline management decisions.
It's also a way to move away from scattered spreadsheets, multiple versions of budgets sent via email, and manually merging data from multiple files.
Do you use SAP BusinessObjects?
In many organizations, SAP BusinessObjects still plays a key role in reporting. In such cases, ensuring the stability of the environment and planning the future direction of development is crucial. KBJ supports clients in the following areas:
- maintaining and optimizing existing reports,
- developing the BO environment based on current business needs,
- integrating with other analytical tools,
- preparing and implementing migration to SAP Analytics Cloud.
This enables a gradual transition to modern analytics – without risk and disruption.
SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP BusinessObjects integration
In many organizations, SAC and BO coexist as complementary analytical layers.
A typical model includes:
- SAP BusinessObjects as the operational and volume reporting layer,
- SAP Analytics Cloud as the management analytics and planning layer,
- common data sources based on SAP BW, Datasphere, or S/4HANA.
KBJ designs and implements architectures that bridge both worlds without disrupting existing business processes.

FAQ
Most often, no. It streamlines planning and reporting processes where Excel alone becomes insufficient at larger scales. Wherever typical Excel limitations come to the fore, SAP Analytics Cloud eliminates them and simply allows you to focus on the main goal of planning, budgeting, or analyzing selected phenomena.
No. While SAP Analytics Cloud is also an excellent system for budgeting and reporting in finance and controlling, it can be successfully used in any management area. SAC also supports sales, operations, management, and HR (see how it works in KBJ).
Yes, SAC offers wide integration possibilities with both SAP sources (S/4HANA, BW) and non-SAP systems, SQL databases or flat files, creating a coherent analytical environment (Single Source of Truth).
Not always. In many organizations, the two systems serve different roles.
The key benefits of implementing SAC by KBJ include: reduced planning and budgeting time, faster access to all KPIs, elimination of errors in Excel spreadsheets, access to real-time reports and the ability to create advanced "what-if" business simulations.
The implementation cost depends on the scope of work (analytics, planning, predictive) and the number of data sources. KBJ offers pre-implementation workshops and proof-of-concept projects that allow for precise project budget estimation.
Most often, this starts with a single priority business area, such as controlling or management dashboards. We also recommend "Proof of Concept" projects to our clients, which allow them to test SAC's capabilities in a narrower scope and gradually expand its application area. Contact us for more information.
The first dashboards, models, and reports can be launched within a few weeks. It's also important to remember that in many organizations, the challenge lies not just in planning and reporting, but also in ensuring data consistency across systems. In such cases, companies are simultaneously organizing their data layers, for example, using SAP Business Data Cloud.
