"I have been using SAP Analytics Cloud for several years in many of my classes. SAP Analytics Cloud makes it easy for students to model, visualize, and analyze data to understand what the data is telling them. Because the software is in the cloud, we do not have technical issues to distract from the learning process – no installation issues to deal with.”
