No matter what sector, industry, company or department we are in, quick decisions are essential. Every market change requires quick action before the next steps can be taken.
However, decisions in companies are not made by one person alone. Various employees from different departments such as logistics, marketing, management and shareholders contribute. Everyone has different questions that need answers. These questions can be strategically or operationally oriented and must be answered in order to make the right decisions.
The biggest challenge: Providing the right information quickly and in a usable form
The biggest challenge lies in making data available quickly and in a suitable form. Many people require interactive and visual processing of the data. Simple analysis without the use of complex tools is therefore crucial. Furthermore, quick decisions are only possible if data can be analyzed immediately in order to gain a speed advantage. This means real-time analysis - such as with SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics.
Preparing operational data in a targeted manner with embedded analytics
Embedded analytics offers the opportunity to analyze and process operational data directly at the source. This means that the data can not only be analyzed immediately, but is also available in its purest form. Here are some important aspects and benefits:
- Immediate analysis and decision-making
One of the greatest strengths of SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics is its ability to analyze data instantly. In today's business world, speed is of the essence. Companies need to be able to react quickly to changes. It also enables real-time analysis, allowing decision-makers to gain actionable insights immediately. - Access to essential and accurate data
Another key advantage is access to essential and accurate data. This data is extracted directly from the operational systems, where it is available in its uncondensed form. This means that there is no loss of information and all the details are available to make informed decisions. - Raw data in its purest form
Raw data is most valuable when it is available in its original, unaltered form. In operational systems, this data is the purest and offers the highest quality. It is free of aggregations or summarizations that could obscure important details. This enables a deeper and more accurate analysis. - Integration into existing business processes
SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics can be seamlessly integrated into existing business processes. This means that the analyses can be performed directly within the applications and systems that employees use on a daily basis. This makes the analysis process more natural and efficient, as no additional steps or tools are required. - Interactive and visual presentation
SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics offer interactive and visual dashboards that allow users to explore data intuitively. These dashboards are user-friendly and do not require in-depth technical knowledge, increasing accessibility and adoption across the organization.
- Immediate analysis and decision-making
Mastering challenges and exploiting hidden potential
The hidden potential lies directly at the source. Why not evaluate it right there? With the advanced S/4HANA database technology, analysis is possible at the touch of a button. SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics enables immediate reporting with a focus on operational data. This is possible for every employee, regardless of department or technical expertise. The central tool for this is the FIORI Launchpad.
