Analytics in the cloud, the new way to analyze SAP data

Did you like our article?

There are powerful reasons to do data analytics in SAP using cloud analytics, as we’ve told you in previous articles (Six reasons to consider Analytics in the Cloud). Here’s a summary:

1. It is cheaper: Studies by consulting firms indicate that, depending on the way it is implemented, the TCO in the cloud, with native solutions, can be from 50% to 95% cheaper than having a platform based on traditional technologies such as BW on HANA, Teradata or Exadata.
2. Reduces time to market: It is possible to reduce the time to market by more than 40%, since the implementation of the platform is streamlined, modeling is simplified, and testing processes are accelerated.
3. Flexibility: It is flexible to grow or shrink according to business demands, in a fast and simple way.
4. Reliability: Cloud analytics solutions are based on platform services managed by cloud providers, which are designed to deliver the highest levels of availability while maintaining simplicity of operation.
5. Scalability: Allows scaling in a granular, simple, and fast way, adapting in a timely manner to business requirements, without the need to commit investments in advance and with a growth that is practically unlimited.
6. Broad functionality available: The Analytics cloud environment is multi-tool and multi-vendor, as there are many alternative solutions that complement each other. You can therefore look for the one that best suits the requirements of your project, without being tied to a single technology.

To take advantage of these benefits, we have developed Novis Cloud Analytics, a tool to analyze SAP data in a flexible, agile, and secure way.

It was designed by the Novis Analytics team to provide a solid foundation on which to facilitate flexible analysis of information from SAP solutions and can combine other data sources.

It accelerates business deliverables, reduces risk, complexity, and costs.

We integrate SAP with cloud technologies to achieve a very flexible analytical solution, which is implemented in three months and at a very competitive price.

It includes a database with information from the most used SAP modules: finance, purchasing and sales. After implementation, you will have a robust platform on which you can continue to make your own adjustments.

What does the basic version include?

It is a predefined solution that includes a base with information from several SAP modules:

• Finance
• Sales
• Purchasing

And may also include:

• Billing
• Inventories
• Purchasing
• Purchase order requests
• Maintenance notifications
• Includes visualization panels in Excel: with data from each module and master data.

Novis Cloud Analytics is based on Amazon Web Services (AWS) tools.

It is very flexible, both in the sources of information that can be integrated, as well as in the way this information is consumed:

As a cloud solution, it is very easy to scale and uses all the security strengths and access controls that AWS has.

Miccely Arroyo, Business Intelligence Consultant, in charge of the Analytics team, emphasizes that “Novis Cloud Analytics is a solid and flexible base for analyzing information at a new level.

It allows connection with multiple data origins: SAP, RRSS, Google Drive, ServiceNow, Salesforce, etc.

And use the visualization tools of your choice: Excel, PowerBI, Tableau, QuickSight, etc., while maintaining high reporting performance.

It will accelerate your organization’s ability to digitize and transform your business, through the revelation of new information from your data.”
