Analytics: Eliminating the Silo Effect

Just because something has always been that way, doesn’t make it right. Most companies using analytics today – whether they’re on the cloud or on-premise – are challenged by the fact that the solutions are so fragmented. Traditionally, there’s always been a ‘silo’ approach, where capabilities are delivered by a host of different solutions. Visualization and forecasting as just two cases in point.

When solutions are fragmented, you get data that’s fragmented as well. It becomes very challenging to make informed decisions and improve business outcomes when your data is all over the map and you can’t put a complete picture together.

Now imagine a new reality. A single experience for decision-making where you could discover, visualize, plan and predict – all in one place. Where everyone, whether they’re in front of the customer or in the boardroom, had the power to find new insights and take action.

Well, that day has arrived.

SAP Cloud for Analytics is a new end-to-end cloud analytics experience, giving customers the ability to access all data so business users can easily discover, visualize, plan and predict.

It’s ushering in a new era where organizations can use just one solution to enable their employees to track performance, analyze trends, predict and collaborate to make informed decisions and improve business outcomes.

It’s a radical departure that’s expected to redefine analytics for years to come.
