In our organization, SAP Analytics Cloud serves as a pivotal tool for data-driven decision-making. We harness its capabilities for comprehensive business intelligence, utilizing interactive dashboards to analyze and visually present insights from diverse data sources. SAC facilitates collaborative planning and forecasting processes, enabling real-time simulations and fostering team collaboration. The platform's predictive analytics feature empowers us to anticipate trends and identify opportunities, while its seamless integration with both SAP and non-SAP systems ensures a holistic approach to data consolidation. SAC's mobile analytics support keeps decision-makers informed on-the-go, and the self-service analytics feature empowers business users to perform ad-hoc analysis, enhancing agility. The scope of our SAC use extends across various departments, including finance, sales, marketing, and operations, ensuring a unified and responsive analytics environment to address a multitude of business challenges.

My work as an Editorial Assistant requires me to use SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) in different ways to manage and analyze the editorial process. It helps me break down the process of product development to expedite delivery of the final product. It helps me create a dashboard for my project to track metrics such as reader demographics, market survey results, direct feedback on the product, author expectations etc. The predictions made by SAP Analytics Cloud help me and the team better understand user expectations/ changes to be integrated in the new product. The budgetary models generated by SAP Analytics Cloud have evidently been efficient at controlling costs of the project. Additionally, seamless collaboration with my colleagues sitting continents away via SAP Analytics Cloud is highly appreciable.

As a sponsoring editor, one of my job roles entails analyzing sales data to make financial projections for products in my portfolio. SAP Analytics Cloud helps make forecasts in my business proposals using real world data for accurate projections. It also helps me predict financial outcomes based on decisions taken, as well as create budgets keeping in mind the financials of the department as a whole. As a cloud-based product, I also appreciate that it works seamlessly while I collaborate with colleagues around the world.

In our company, we handle numerous part lists according to client, dimension, region, and company using SAP Analytics Cloud. We oversee additional departmental data as well. We are moving from several outdated ERP systems to a single SAP system.

SAP Analytics is currently used across all departments (finance/HR/sales) of client I support. We have designed various stories and applications as well on sales/finance/HR data showcasing different KPIs, Top N contributors, Geo-Map data points. There is not much additional work needed as the same story can easily be seen using mobile or tabs by business users. Business users loved the smart capabilities of SAC wherein they type any query in Natural Languages and it produces relevant graphs to users.

Recently I have done POC on HR data for them to identity probable employees who could leave organization. The POC went well so we are asked to implement the same. I used built classification-in for addressing Attrition problem which resulted in 83% accuracy. Client has asked us to do a POC using regression if we can predict number of copies to be printed considering various factors like historical data (sports event/elections/or other catastrophic events).

Suggestion:
However I feel SAC can be more effective if more modelling capabilities are provided. Integration with R is good but SAP should think of Python integration as well, reason being Python is more user friendly and capable of doing all what R does.

We are using this to forecast consumer attitudes about goods in order to build on what is planned for the future or to improve customer experience.
This is also, helping us to do better reporting to management. these reports create by transforming data saving more time while taking some decisions.
The option to utilize built-in algorithms or expand using R has real deal.

SAP Analytics Cloud is used as a reporting tool for financial reporting, planning and budgeting. SAP SAC is also used as a KPI reporting tool for key KPIs within the organization. SAP SAC is also used by business users to design and develop their own SAC end user stories and dashboards.
