Redefining Data Analytics in the Cloud and On Premise
SAP Business Objects Cloud solution represents a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering. It brings together all analytics features into one solution.
For example, contents from different business areas (e.g. Finance, Marketing, HR) can be aligned on a single semantic model within the SAP Business Objects Cloud – leveraging the core services. It can be directly connected to local SAP S/4 HANA, SAP HANA and SAP Business Warehouse platform content or other data sources through either Smart Data Integration or HANA Cloud integration.
