SAC offers customers clear visibility into cost and revenue drivers through an integrated, visual workflow that supports planners and allows for quick collaboration inside the application, whether planning is done top-down or bottom-up. The solution also supports planning in a way that fits existing architectures, by providing multiple ways to pull data in and write it back to source systems. Close integration with SAP’s data warehouse in the cloud, SAP Datasphere, facilitates near real-time planning activities with data from across the organization’s IT landscape. Powerful modeling capabilities such as data-and-multi actions, versioning, what-if simulations and extensive variance and allocation calculations ensure that customers can align their financial and operational plans across the enterprise for better business outcomes.
