Governed Data Discovery<br />
and Business User Self-Service<br />
Analytical power on SAP!<br />
As <strong>the</strong> pace of change quickens in <strong>business</strong>es, so does <strong>the</strong> pressure on IT to provide more<br />
than just reports. Businesses need more than <strong>bi</strong>g data; <strong>the</strong>y need <strong>bi</strong>g answers.<br />
There is a plethora of SAP reporting tools to currently choose from, both delivered by SAP<br />
and from a wide selection of 3rd party BI vendors, all offering advanced reporting and<br />
visualization capa<strong>bi</strong>lities on ECC, HANA or o<strong>the</strong>r databases.<br />
The trouble is, 90 per cent of all critical <strong>business</strong> questions that need answers are ad-hoc,<br />
arising from unpredictable events that occur daily throughout <strong>the</strong> <strong>business</strong>, resulting in IT<br />
being swamped <strong>with</strong> requests for easier access to key decision-making information.<br />
This obviously costs IT departments <strong>bi</strong>g in terms of time, resources and money.<br />
The development of self-service analytics was supposed to provide <strong>the</strong> answer to this – but<br />
it hasn’t.<br />
While most self-service solutions do allow <strong>business</strong><br />
users to create <strong>the</strong>ir own reports and dashboards, it still<br />
requires a significant amount of IT time to design,<br />
curate, stage, test and maintain <strong>the</strong> data set. Plus,<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>business</strong> users are constrained to that pre-defined<br />
dataset.<br />
This provides little benefit to <strong>the</strong> users over and above<br />
<strong>the</strong> visualization and drill down capa<strong>bi</strong>lities. The data<br />
being analyzed by <strong>the</strong> <strong>business</strong> is often just that –<br />
data. It brings no extra intelligence or understanding,<br />
resulting in <strong>the</strong>se ad-hoc, critical <strong>business</strong> questions still<br />
remaining unanswered, and <strong>the</strong> users frustrated.<br />
Not anymore.<br />
Every Angle provides ‘real’ <strong>business</strong> user self-service<br />
and governed data discovery capa<strong>bi</strong>lities for SAP.<br />
Why ‘real’? Because ra<strong>the</strong>r than just report, it actually<br />
understands <strong>the</strong> SAP data and <strong>the</strong> customizing behind<br />
it. Understands <strong>the</strong> connections between processes.<br />
Understands <strong>the</strong> master and transactional data setup.<br />
Real because it allows <strong>business</strong> users to create <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
own analysis <strong>with</strong>out:<br />
Specialized help from data analysts or IT<br />
Significant implementation effort<br />
A new dataset to be developed<br />
Data curation or staging<br />
Constant IT support and maintenance.<br />

root causes and generally provide insights on open items<br />
that can be acted on immediately.<br />
