The Challenge
- Planning was done using excel sheets. There was lot of manual work involved like: Downloading the actual transactional data, distributing the downloaded data to the planners and consolidating the plan/ budget values from planners
- All these manual activities led to multiple versions of truth
- There was also a lack of centralized authorization mechanism during the planning cycle
The Solution
- Centralized planning solution in SAP Analytics Cloud. Suggested user-friendly dashboards meeting SAP’s self-service BI experience.
- Collaboration features such as discussions and comments help planners to coordinate internally.
- Ensuring seamless planning experience by leveraging SAC’s standard functionalities like Data Actions, Data Locking & Distribution etc.
Results
- Absolutely no manual activities from an organizational planning standpoint.
- Automated data level authorization control to restrict the users view only authorized data. Rich visualization experience exceeding customer expectations.
- Assign tasks & send reminders to team members for meeting timelines
- Custom KPIs, KPI thresholds and data filters/ drill down equip planners to have a focused data analysis. On-time delivery
