Does Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A) across the enterprise sound like a daunting task? Whether you’re doing your financial planning and analysis on spreadsheets, on in-house tools, or from a third-party vendor, you should know that the SAP Analytics Cloud solution intuitively centralizes planning processes on a single, streamlined platform.
xP&A is a planning approach that extends past traditional financial planning and analysis and links your strategic, financial, and operational plans in real time. This means that instead of planning in siloed business units, you are connecting your plans across the company. One example of this is workforce planning to determine how much budget you need to open headcount to expand your business. With an xP&A process, you can easily review your sales plan to see how much revenue you’re expecting and then jump over to your operational plans to see your expected expenses so you can optimize your business outcomes in real time.
Don’t have time to read pages of documentation or review hours of tutorial videos? Our brand-new guided experience teaches you all the basics with an easy-to-use, click-through interface so that you can intuitively pick up the skills you need to get value out of your plans. You can also create predictive forecasts that you can rely on without pouring countless hours into training.
