Integrate SAP Integrated Business Planning in the daily operation of the core business is easy if the use of SAP HANA Cloud requires to increase in budget and is not possible for all types or sizes of organisations, but if your IT department requires to connect to on-premise data, connect to other data repositories on cloud or off-premise and customize reports for specific businesses cases, these tasks can increase the projected costs and require to adopt other SAP modules that can not be required at all.

  • The trial version is very limited, but it's a trial! But for the awareness of the platform, SAP could improve the free version.
  • SAP IBP has a lot of functions, but not all are easy to understand and put into practice. Maybe a better demo would be a plus for the awareness of all of them.

They are entirely different solutions so ‘stacking them up’ doesn’t make sense. I raise this solution because PaPM is a highly-scalable analytics engine. If SAP sold IBP with PaPM it would eliminate the issues we have with scalability as we develop our top-down, bottom-up planning structure. Yes, it would raise the price, but given the focus on analytics to improve decision making, it seems a necessity for a company combining analytics and planning.
