Governed Data Discovery
and Business User Self-Service
Analytical power on SAP!
As the pace of change quickens in businesses, so does the pressure on IT to provide more
than just reports. Businesses need more than big data; they need big answers.
There is a plethora of SAP reporting tools to currently choose from, both delivered by SAP
and from a wide selection of 3rd party BI vendors, all offering advanced reporting and
visualization capabilities on ECC, HANA or other databases.
The trouble is, 90 per cent of all critical business questions that need answers are ad-hoc,
arising from unpredictable events that occur daily throughout the business, resulting in IT
being swamped with requests for easier access to key decision-making information.
This obviously costs IT departments big in terms of time, resources and money.
The development of self-service analytics was supposed to provide the answer to this – but
it hasn’t.
While most self-service solutions do allow business
users to create their own reports and dashboards, it still
requires a significant amount of IT time to design,
curate, stage, test and maintain the data set. Plus,
the business users are constrained to that pre-defined
dataset.
This provides little benefit to the users over and above
the visualization and drill down capabilities. The data
being analyzed by the business is often just that –
data. It brings no extra intelligence or understanding,
resulting in these ad-hoc, critical business questions still
remaining unanswered, and the users frustrated.
Not anymore.
Every Angle provides ‘real’ business user self-service
and governed data discovery capabilities for SAP.
Why ‘real’? Because rather than just report, it actually
understands the SAP data and the customizing behind
it. Understands the connections between processes.
Understands the master and transactional data setup.
Real because it allows business users to create their
own analysis without:
Specialized help from data analysts or IT
Significant implementation effort
A new dataset to be developed
Data curation or staging
Constant IT support and maintenance.
Every Angle empowers business users with easy,
engaging and empowering analytical tools that provide
new insights, cross-process intelligence and added
pre-calculated fields designed to provide answers to
critical business questions, highlight exceptions, identify
root causes and generally provide insights on open items
that can be acted on immediately.
UNDERSTAND ISSUES!
CONTROL PROCESSES!
IMPROVE OUTCOMES!
