Overview

Analyze, plan, and predict on the same numbers.

SAP Analytics Cloud brings business intelligence, planning, and predictive analytics together in a single cloud solution. Dashboards, budgets, and scenario simulations all run on the same numbers, connected to SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW, and non-SAP sources.

Grupo Intelsis starts with a free 30-minute analytics maturity assessment, prioritizes three to five high-impact use cases, and builds models and dashboards validated with business teams. If you already run SAP BusinessObjects, we define what to keep, what to migrate, and how both platforms work together.

What sets us apart is where the data comes from: we know the SAP processes behind every metric, design governed models with role-based security, and train business users to analyze and plan on their own.

Highlights

  • Executive dashboards and self-service analysis
  • Integrated planning, budgeting, and forecasting
  • Machine learning forecasts and anomaly detection
  • Connections to SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW, and non-SAP data
  • SAP BusinessObjects support and migration

Why Grupo Intelsis

Reliable metrics start with the SAP process.

Good analytics depends on knowing how each number is created in the ERP and who will use it to make decisions.

  • Use cases before dashboards

    We prioritize three to five high-impact use cases so value shows up in the first releases, not only at the end of the project.

  • Deep knowledge of SAP data

    We know where every number comes from in SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, and SAP BW, which prevents polished dashboards built on inconsistent data.

  • Autonomy for business teams

    We train key users to build analyses and adjust plans on their own, freeing IT from one-off report requests.

  • SAP Gold Partner across the lifecycle

    Licensing, implementation, support, and continuous improvement with the same partner, before, during, and after go-live.

Capabilities

BI, planning, and AI on a governed data foundation.

We configure SAP Analytics Cloud around your priority use cases and address your SAP BusinessObjects landscape in the same roadmap.

  • Dashboards and stories

    Executive and operational dashboards with drill-down, filters, and comments, available in the browser or the mobile app.

  • Self-service analysis

    Business users explore data, build views, and ask questions in natural language without opening IT tickets.

  • Planning and budgeting

    Budgets, forecasts, and driver-based plans with versions, allocations, and approval workflows, with no spreadsheets emailed around.

  • Predictive and augmented analytics

    Machine learning to forecast time series, flag anomalies, and reveal the factors that most influence each result.

  • Scenario simulation

    Assumptions and plan versions compared side by side to measure impact before deciding, without exporting data to Excel.

  • SAP and non-SAP connections

    Live connections to SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW, and SAP Datasphere, plus data imported from databases, files, and third-party applications.

  • SAP BusinessObjects

    Support, upgrades, and optimization of the BI platform, including universes, Web Intelligence, Crystal Reports, and Analysis for Microsoft Office.

  • Governance and security

    Role-based profiles, data access control, a content catalog, and design standards so every metric has a single version.

SAP BusinessObjects

From BusinessObjects to SAP Analytics Cloud, at your pace.

A roadmap to modernize BI without losing critical reports or disrupting the people who rely on them.

  1. Step 1

    Legacy inventory

    Reports, universes, schedules, users, and usage frequency mapped to separate what matters from what has been forgotten.

  2. Step 2

    Rationalization

    Every piece of content gets a destination: stay in BusinessObjects, be redesigned in SAP Analytics Cloud, or be retired.

  3. Step 3

    Data and models

    Connections, models, and security rules prepared so new dashboards are governed from day one.

  4. Step 4

    Migration in waves

    Content migrated by business area, with numbers reconciled side by side before each cutover.

  5. Step 5

    Planned coexistence

    Both platforms run together for as long as needed, and replaced content is switched off gradually.

How we deliver

From assessment to a data-driven culture.

Short releases, validated by the people who use the numbers every day.

  1. Analytics maturity assessment

    A free 30-minute conversation about sources, reports, and critical decisions, followed by prioritizing three to five use cases.

  2. Co-design of models and dashboards

    Metrics, hierarchies, layouts, and source connections defined with business teams before anything is built.

  3. Build in short iterations

    Models, dashboards, and plans delivered in iterations, with key users validating the numbers frequently.

  4. Go-live, adoption, and evolution

    Supported go-live, hypercare, training for autonomy, and new use cases in every cycle.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about SAP Analytics Cloud

How is SAP Analytics Cloud different from other BI tools?

Visualization tools work well for exploring data that has already been prepared. SAP Analytics Cloud goes further by combining BI, planning, and predictive analytics in a single solution, with direct connections to SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW and SAP business semantics preserved. In many architectures the tools coexist, and we help define the role of each one.

Do I have to replace SAP BusinessObjects to adopt SAP Analytics Cloud?

Not necessarily. Many companies keep operational reports and scheduled publications in BusinessObjects while dashboards, self-service analysis, and planning move to SAP Analytics Cloud. We recommend inventorying content and usage, deciding where each report should go, and following SAP's maintenance roadmap to plan the transition without rushing.

Does SAP Analytics Cloud work with SAP ECC or only with SAP S/4HANA?

It works with both. We connect SAP Analytics Cloud to SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW, and non-SAP sources. For companies moving to S/4HANA, we design models with the migration in mind, which reduces rework when the ERP changes.

Can I do financial planning in SAP Analytics Cloud?

Yes. The solution covers budgeting, forecasting, driver-based planning, allocations, and scenario simulation, with versions and approval workflows. Plans use the same actuals that feed the dashboards, which cuts manual spreadsheet consolidation and brings finance closer to the rest of the business.

How long until we see the first results?

It depends on your data sources and analytics maturity. That is why we start with three to five high-impact use cases delivered in short iterations, so the first dashboards reach users early and guide the next waves.
