I'm an SAP consultant. It's primarily used for analytics on top of SAP data sources. It provides live reporting on SAP S/4HANA, the ERP platform. It has real-time connectivity with S/4HANA.
I mostly use it for data insights and industry analytics. There were two use cases that were quite opposite to each other. One was a truck manufacturing and transportation company. That company both manufactures and runs a logistics company. They use SAP Analytics Cloud for tracking their transportation, to see exactly where the consignment is, where the truck is, what the issue is with the truck, why it failed, where it failed, why it stopped, why the driver is deviating from the defined route, etc. For the second part, an oil and gas company from the US is using it for basically monitoring their oil wells. They track how much the well is getting explored, which well is currently being used, when it can next be used, etc. So they don't continuously explore a well. They are actually making a rotation between the wells. They keep track of which well is getting explored today versus tomorrow.
We integrate with the SAP and it encompasses the entire effective practice for various industries. If you're activating SAP Analytics Cloud, it includes dashboards, analytics, and safety statements. It features a comprehensive library ready for use in month-end planning, development, product management, analytics, and dashboards, which is very beneficial. There is a component related to planning. If you already have a planning or budgeting process in place, you can use SAP Analytics Cloud for planning features. The tenant is available for collaboration, allowing different parties to participate in planning and budgeting for new and adaptable cycles.
Our primary use cases involve data insights. We gather data from various sources, including SAP and non-SAP systems, and use SAP Analytics Cloud to generate reports. We also leverage DataSphere* to connect to systems that don't have direct connectors within SAP Analytics Cloud, bringing that data into the platform.
We use SAP Analytics Cloud to create executive dashboards for our organizations. It is a comprehensive analytic solution that allows users to review functional data globally in a clear and organized format, and incorporate features for data visualization and analytics.

SAP used to provide two tools, SAP BI and SAP BPC. The SAP BI tool provided analytics, while the SAP BPC tool provided budgeting and planning functionality. However, We later consolidated these two tools into one tool, SAP Analytics for Cloud. This tool provides both budgeting and analytics functionality.
We use SAP Analytics Cloud for creating dashboards for higher management. Our managers use this for business planning purposes, viewing monthly and quarterly reports, particularly sales, finance, and planned maintenance reports.
I used SAP Analytics Cloud to create a functionality called Digital Boardroom, which is mainly an executive KPI form of presentation for board meetings. In Columbia in 2019, there weren't more than five implementations of this solution. All of them were made by SAP directly. The key solution is the implementation I made for a company with over 16,000 employees and about ten lines of business. We consolidated all the information for ten lines of businesses in the SAP Digital Boardroom.
My company uses SAP Analytics Cloud to create reports for clients. I use the solution to develop reports for clients. The clients would be based out of different locations and do analytics, so I create those reports for clients through SAP Analytics Cloud.
The primary use case is for our client. We implemented the BI Analytics for the executive. SAP also works with the theater boardroom. There is another license policy, but there's more that's dedicated for the dashboard with the touch screen so they can use it for their executive meetings. The solution is used on PC or mobile. It's deployed on a public SAP cloud.

My VP asked me to work with my plan number to figure out how to increase and support our sales region. On the planning admin, I created a model and then imported actual and forecasted data. From that, I was able to determine the variance. We managed to plan this with small amounts of data. We created a planning model and enabled it to make a planning checkmark that works with the time category in the tab dimension, in order to bring it down to the lowest granularity, by month, start date, and end date. We created an organization dimension. A responsible person to monitor each region is required. Then you can drag and drop the region hierarchy from the parent. Then, we worked on the calculated numbers, for example, the gross margin, which was the total revenue minus COGS. We then divided that number by total revenue times one hundred. From there, we could pull the data from the file and select source actuality to validate it. We performed all of this using SAP Analytics Cloud.

We use this solution as part of an embedded analytics use case for an ERP application. SAP are starting to embed Analytics Cloud as a solution within their ERP application, which gives you the options for closed-loop analytics, as you go from insights to action within a single ERP application. It can also be used to bring together multiple data sources, different sources of data from various applications and use the application to blend and trade analytics solutions across different parts of the organization. The product suits small to large enterprise, it supports all user types. We are partners with SAP and I'm an analytics practice lead.

The version was launched about a month ago. We are in partnership with SAP, we're gold members. We implement SAP a lot. Working with open-source data in terms of Google Drive. The primary use case is working with open-source data in terms of Google Drive and other platforms. The environment currently runs on SAP, so SAP Analytics Cloud is a good way to go. The client can get value for money, instead of having to bring Oracle into an environment in which the integration might be clumsy. It makes sense to have SAP on the ground because they are running currently on HANA, which is why SAP was the first option on the list.
Although we currently use version 4.2, there are upgrades very regularly. I work for multiple clients and each client has a different version. It depends on the analytics cloud SAP are distributing to their respective clients. For now, we have 10 clients but the plan is to expand this.
