Correct information. Any time. Everywhere.
The SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a cloud-based software-as-a-service solution from SAP. The solution comprises both classic business intelligence functions for analysis and reporting as well as planning applications and predictive analytics functions. The use of SAP HANA in-memory technology supports the processing of very large volumes of data with efficient response times for the evaluation of time series analyses, plan/actual comparisons and the calculation of forecasts, predictive and real-time analyses.
On the go or on your desktop, you can use the application anytime and anywhere with any device. Modern and intuitive user interfaces make it easy to create data models, stories and dashboards. As your company expands, the software can be expanded quickly and effectively using virtual resources.
