SAP Analytics Cloud: customer experiences

14
SAP Lumira vs SAP Analytics Cloud
• SAP Lumira (Discovery)
– Data preparation on client or live connection
– BI Platform for deployment
– Maintenance of BI platform in-house
– Updated quarterly (rough estimate) until 2020

• SAP Analytics Cloud


– Data preparation after import of data to cloud or live connection
– No maintenance
– Updated every 2 weeks (rough estimate)

15
SAC updates
• SAP drives updates on the cloud
• Frequent updates = good!

• However
– No clear roadmap for new features
– No clear timeline for updates

16
Import data to SAP Analytics Cloud
• Data preparation
– Max number of columns: 100 (pre-existing)
– Max number of rows: 800,000 (does not apply anymore for files)
– Max number of dimension members: 800,000 (since wave 2017.05)
– Max number of dimension members with attributes: 150,000
– Max number of dimension members in hierarchy: 150,000
– Max number of dimension members for geocoding: 200,000
– Max hierarchy depth: 1,000

17
Standard content: usability
• Standard content based on template queries
• However template queries do not match

18
Geocoding
• Only works for USA data

• Otherwise, coordinates are needed

19
Large data sets (+500.000 rows)
• Slow performance reported with large data sets

• Upload in background = OK

• Processing and adding data often not responsive when handling large data
sets

20
Improvements to come

21
Connectivity

22
Visualizations

23
Show and tell

24
SAP Analytics Cloud
• Standard content example based on data

• Creating new story based on imported data

• Using geographic visualizations

25
Retire SAP Lumira (Discovery)?

26
Pros and cons

• SAP Analytics Cloud’s development is fast paced


• Integrated planning
• Integration with on-premise data

• Data volume limitations


• Geocoding only for USA
• Performance with large data sets

27
When to use SAC?
• Provide unified reporting on multiple platforms

• Collaboration on a unified platform

• Connectivity with other applications, for example SuccessFactors

• When starting from scratch with reporting

28
Should we switch now?
• Users with existing reporting (Webi and/or Lumira)
– Too early, product first needs further development
– Initial testing can be done already

• Users without existing reporting


– First developments can be performed, but expect steep learning curve
(OpenSAP course coming June 2018)
– Start with high-level reporting

Thank you!
