Easier and Faster Decision-Making and Problem Solving With No Training Required
The SAP® StreamWork™ application transforms the way people work, and lightweight, fast and simple analytics are planned to strengthen the collaborative decision-making process. With no training required to use these planned capabilities, analytics tools can be placed into the hands of people who have never used them before. Planned features intend to allow companies to collectively analyze data directly in SAP StreamWork, including accessing information stored in SAP HANA™, for rapid retrieval and analysis of data necessary for business-critical decisions.

Enabling Business in the Moment With New Mobile Apps
New mobile apps from the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio help people across organizations incorporate business analytics into their day-to-day work on a variety of devices.

Available on the Apple iTunes Store, SAP® BusinessObjects™ Mobile software provides instant access to favorite business intelligence reports, metrics and real-time business data. Interactive and stunning new visualizations helping users analyze key metrics and discover data trends while connected or disconnected. In addition, the SAP® Strategy Management mobile app, also available on iTunes, enables executives to collaborate on key initiatives while away from the office. With the ability to manage daily activities through threaded discussions related to initiatives and KPIs, users can respond promptly to critical alerts, review timelines and budget status and review and analyze organizational performance.

Global risk and compliance solutions from SAP help make risk management, regulatory compliance and safe, productive operations a standard and a consistent practice. New mobile governance, risk and compliance (GRC) apps empower the mobile workforce by delivering more consumable information and processes enabling users to protect value and optimize organizational performance on mobile devices. The SAP® GRC Access Approver mobile app facilitates review, time-sensitive approvals and operation-critical access requests for managers, allowing authorized employees to gain access to systems and continue their work in a timely manner. With the SAP® GRC Policy Survey mobile app, sales managers can keep track of the latest policy changes within their organization and complete policy-related surveys.

Line-of-Business and Industry-Specific Analytic Applications Speed Time to Value

"With business analytics, we are combining emerging technologies to fundamentally shift the way people engage with information,” said Steve Lucas, general manager, Business Analytics, SAP. “SAP is delivering an experience that is so easy, intuitive, accessible and relevant that users don’t know how they did their jobs before. People are able to access the information and insights they need within the context of their day-to-day work, have the flexibility to collaborate around it and can tap into the collective knowledge of their business networks. It’s a new way of working, and our customers are reporting incredible results."

Customers Recognize the Power and Ease-of-Use of Business Analytics from SAP
Based in South Africa, Allied Electronics Corporation Limited (Altron) needed to analyze information from its more than 150 companies. The company was already using SAP software to successfully conduct its consolidated financial statement filings across these entities, but its executives wanted to use the data to conduct analyses and make decisions regarding investments in new projects. This meant tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) and conducting “what-if” scenarios, for example, on what would happen if exchange rates or other variables changed. To address this need, Altron chose the new 4.0 release of BI solutions. With the 4.0 release immediately available both on the desktop and mobile device, Altron’s team can access information from wherever they happen to be, meeting the needs of its frequently out-of-the-office executives, who need to receive results and perform analysis from mobile devices.

"What we gained was an incredibly powerful tool that enables executives to find the answers they need without relying on the IT department,” said Alex Smith, chief financial officer, Altron. “The moment we gave the executives access to better analyzed information, the entire conversation changed. Previously, executives would need days before major meetings to prepare reports. With their tools from SAP, they know they can be asked a question during the meeting and give an answer quickly and accurately. With these same tools, available on their iPads, this information is now available to them everywhere."
