SAP Celebrates market leadership in 2024 BARC Score for Integrated Planning and Analytics

[Nverhoeven]

The 2024 BARC Score highlights the intensifying need for businesses to adopt comprehensive planning and forecasting tools enhanced by analytics and BI functionalities. As companies grapple with rapidly evolving markets, the seamless melding of these components is not just beneficial but imperative for crafting successful Corporate Performance Management (CPM) strategies. 

At SAP, we are ecstatic about our rating, which emphasises our strengths in providing integrated, user-friendly functionality for enterprise planning and BI, complete with cutting-edge capabilities for augmented analytics and application design in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). SAP's offering empowers users with sophisticated tools like ‘Just-Ask’, 'Smart Predict' & 'Smart Insights' all part of SAP Abalytics Cloud's generative AI features that enable quick and deep data exploration and predictive analytics.

Another prowess of SAP's advanced solutions lies in connectivity. Users of SAP Analytics Cloud’s experience unparalleled live access and direct write-back capabilities with SAP’s own data sources and applications, including SAP S/4HANA and SAP Datasphere. This highlights our commitment to delivering an integrated suite of applications, ensuring that our clients can make the most out of their investments in SAP’s ecosystem.

We are also proactively refining the platform with significant investments into areas such as SQL Live integration and a tighter coupling with SAP Datasphere. The forthcoming enhancements aim to expand native connectivity, not just within SAP’s vast array of applications but also with other systems through already existing open REST APIs and beyond.

At SAP, we view this BARC Score as a powerful motivator to continue perfecting our offerings. It serves as both a confirmation of our strategy and a constructive compass for the journey ahead. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our customer community, whose invaluable feedback and loyalty inspire us to push the boundaries of what's feasible in the realm of integrated planning and analytics.

Through our united front of BI, planning, and AI, SAP is ready to tackle the future of corporate management. We invite you to witness this transformative journey with us, as we revolutionise decision-making and planning in an ever-dynamic business world.
