January 28 - Joint Use Cases with Cloud for Planning, Cloud for Analytics, and Cloud for Predictive

SAP Cloud for Analytics is a new generation of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that redefines analytics by providing all analytics capabilities, including BI, predictive and planning, for all users in one product.

In this session, we use the example of a Sales Analyst to show how SAP Cloud for Analytics enables his day-to-day work by allowing him to seamlessly transition between his different analytical needs. First, the analyst explores the historical sales data of a product that’s heavily impacted by seasonality, he then runs a time series forecast on this data using the SAP Cloud for Analytics’ predictive capabilities and incorporates the outcome of the time series analysis is in his planning process.

I hope you enjoy these session.
