Hello and welcome! 😊
Thank you for stopping by. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate SAC developer, I’m thrilled to have you here.
For those who might be unfamiliar, let me quickly introduce SAC and outline what you can expect from this blog.
The What and The Why
What is SAC?
SAP Analytics Cloud, commonly known as SAC, stands for SAP Analytics Cloud. It’s a top-notch, award-winning BI solution created by SAP, renowned for its intuitiveness and robust dashboarding capabilities.
Why SAC?
SAC isn’t just another tool in the SAP’s portfolio; it’s the flagship cloud solution that consolidates various advanced analytics functionalities into one powerful platform.
But what does that mean exactly?
Well, SAC boasts four core facets:
- BI & Analytics (paying homage to the legendary BOBJ )
- Application Designer (taking cues from the ingenious Lumira )
- Financial Planning ( stolen from SAP BPC )
- Predictive Analytics 😃
Chances are, if you’re here, one of these facets is what drew you to SAC, and it’s likely a key reason why your company has embraced it too.

But enough preamble! Let’s dive into what you’re really here for, shall we? 😉
