Busi­ness­es now rely on ana­lyt­ics to help under­stand their process­es, their prod­ucts, and their cus­tomers. Hav­ing the right infor­ma­tion avail­able when­ev­er busi­ness lead­ers need to make a deci­sion is just as impor­tant as the infor­ma­tion itself.

ASUG spent time with the authors of SAP S/4HANA Embed­ded Ana­lyt­ics to talk about how to ben­e­fit from the tools already avail­able in SAP S/4HANA. Jür­gen Butsmann, part of the glob­al busi­ness devel­op­ment team for SAP S/4HANA and Thomas Fleck­en­stein, chief prod­uct own­er of SAP S/4HANA ana­lyt­ics shared their insights with us.

Our con­ver­sa­tion cov­ered how you can use embed­ded ana­lyt­ics for oper­a­tional report­ing and to process ana­lyt­ics, how to con­fig­ure SAP S/4HANA embed­ded ana­lyt­ics, and how to inte­grate with oth­er SAP tools for data ware­hous­ing, busi­ness intel­li­gence, and pre­dic­tive analytics.
