For an international organisation like Bridgestone, having real-time insight into employee costs is vital for informed decision-making. But what’s the most compatible, effective way to get a clear budget overview – and what about forecasting and simulations? Here's how Bridgestone created a workforce planning tool with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that offers these key capabilities and more.
Thanks to the revolutionary technology of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), Bridgestone reduced its financial forecasting processing time from several weeks to a single day.
When Nipro Corporation chose a cloud migration to unify its cluttered IT landscape, several new focus areas presented themselves. The large-scale project would take up to five years, during which Nipro would have to ensure business continuity without delays or system overloads. Flexso helped simplify that transfer by means of SAP BW Bridge: a “bridge” between old and new data that improved efficiency and reduced load times.
Both Nipro’s rapid growth and a series of acquisitions had quickly spawned a splintered landscape of systems and business models. It was time for a standardised approach and future-proof, uniform group reporting – all tailored to the specific needs of a company in full bloom.
Operational reporting is the foundation of true business success. Equip every team – finance, operations, HR, sales,… – with instant access to the data insights they need, when they need them. Enhance SAP's embedded analytics features with tools like SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) in SAP Business Data Cloud for self-service reporting, dashboarding, in-depth planning features, and predictive analytics.
These days, every business needs faster, more accurate and more agile planning. That’s where Extended Planning & Analytics (xP&A) comes in. By aligning financial and operational plans, xP&A creates one clear version of the truth. SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) seamlessly integrates with SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) to optimize your planning process from finance to supply chain – and vice versa. Here's how it works.
