How are analytics capabilities built into SAP S/4HANA cloud?

The analytics capabilities in SAP S/4HANA cloud are embedded in the same technical stack as the application. This integration allows for real-time data processing and analysis, ensuring that users can access insights directly within the core system without the need for separate applications or external tools. This embedded approach enhances user experience by providing seamless navigation between transactional processes and analytical insights, thus empowering users to make informed decisions based on up-to-date information.

This design also utilizes the advanced capabilities of the SAP HANA database, known for its in-memory computing capabilities, enabling complex data analytics and reporting alongside standard operational functions. As a result, businesses can respond quickly to changing conditions, as they do not have to rely on external reporting tools or third-party software to analyze their data.
