Book Report: Mastering SAP Analytics Cloud: Empower Your Business Users

Over 7 years ago I mentioned that Ingo Hilgefort , SAP, had written his 11th book. Now he has written the book for SAP Analytics Cloud, including all products that are a part of SAP Analytics Cloud (so I have lost track of the number of books he has written):

1. SAP Analytics Cloud BI
2. SAP Analytics Designer
3. SAP Analytics Cloud for Mobile
4. SAP Analytics Cloud add in for Microsoft Office
5. SAP Analytics Cloud Digital Boardroom
6. SAP Analytics Cloud Planning
7. SAP Analytics Cloud for Predictive

In the book, Ingo says SAP Analytics Cloud is not just a product, but also a platform. You can see that from the above list.

We learned at SAP TechEd last month that SAP Analytics Cloud will be embedded in all SAP Cloud products; it has already started with SuccessFactors.

This book covers certification tips, provides exercises on all the products listed above, when to use which tool, which personas would use each tool and more. The exercises provide Ingo’s usual great step by step instructions and he provides sample datasets for you to use.

If you want to see a preview or sample of the book, it is available here. It is available on the Kindle, or you can purchase a paper copy of the book as well. It costs $29.99 USD. For me, I decided to purchase the paper copy of the book; for technical books I still prefer paper.

It is 991 pages (almost one thousand pages) and 27 chapters, this book is full of great information – everything you need to know about SAP Analytics Cloud and more. If you are new to SAP Analytics Cloud or are looking to obtain SAP Analytics Cloud Certification, I highly recommend this book.

Learn more in SAP’s Ingo Hilgefort  new book, Mastering SAP Analytics Cloud, Empower your Business Users, available at Amazon.  It’s a comprehensive book, covering personas. tutorials, how to use it, how to use it with other SAP products.
