Overall Satisfaction with SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)
SAP BPC is a well integrated product in SAP portfolio, specially where SAP is the underlying core ERP. This is used for the planning and the consolidation purpose. Planning relates to financial planning elements, like short term working capital and long term liquidity etc. Consolidation is for group reporting purpose for combining financial information of various legal entities.
- Financial planning
- Talking with the underlying SAP ERP without duplicating data
- Group reporting capabilities
- For complex planning scenarios, where e.g. Anaplan has more intuitive features
- SAP BPC is more on-premise product and thus shift to cloud based offering of SAC and Group Reporting may be done for cloud first approach
- Real-time information and control on the planning data with actuals comparison
- Less resources to perform the planning and consolidation activities
SAP SAC ranks higher then SAP BPC due to its cloud offering nature. Anaplan has its own merits due to handling the complex planning scenarios.
