SAP SystemsSAP Analytics Cloud and Planning
Analytics and planning in one tool means the numbers a manager looks at and the numbers they submit are the same numbers, which removes a great deal of spreadsheet reconciliation and introduces a new discipline about who may change what. This course covers both sides. Delegates work through data connection and modelling, including live against imported data and what each allows, story design and the visualisations that answer a question rather than decorate a page, and dimensions and hierarchies. Planning follows: versions, data entry, allocations, and the spreading and distribution methods used in budgeting. Security and data access control are covered. The course closes on collaboration, on scheduling and on maintaining a model as the business changes.
