Key Challenges When Implementing SAP Analytics Cloud
The successful implementation of SAP Analytics Cloud requires careful planning. Without proper preparation, inaccurate data can distort analyses and slow down decision-making. To unlock the solution's full potential, you should keep the following challenges in mind:
- Ensure Excellent Data Quality and Seamless Integration
Accurate results depend on clean, reliable data from SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, SAP CX and other solutions. Consistent formatting and clearly defined structures reduce the risk of incorrect analyses. - Establish Solid Rules for Your Data
A well-thought-out folder hierarchy with coherent naming conventions forms a reliable foundation for efficient data management. Without firm guidelines, data becomes harder to handle.
- Select Metrics That Matter
Too many or irrelevant KPIs make decision-making more difficult. Focus on the data that actually counts. - Define User Groups and Access Rights
Role-based dashboards and granular permissions make sure that all departments get exactly the data they need.
