SAP Analytics Cloud – The versatile cloud-based analytics solution
From Traditional Reporting to Interactive Dashboards and Self-Service BI
Many banks face the challenge of consolidating information from different systems, creating reports manually, and analyzing key metrics consistently. The result is a high level of coordination effort, lengthy decision-making processes, and a lack of transparency.
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) provides a solution here:
As an integrated, cloud-based platform for reporting, analysis, and planning, it combines business intelligence (BI) and predictive analytics capabilities into a single solution. Whether as a standalone reporting and planning tool or, in conjunction with the SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC), as a central analytics layer for integrated data models and data products. With SAP Analytics Cloud, you can consolidate data from SAP and non-SAP sources, automate reporting, and make results immediately available in interactive dashboards—enabling faster coordination, reduced effort, and well-informed business decisions.
With interactive dashboards, traditional reports, and predictive analytics, you can reduce the time and effort required for reporting, identify variances and trends earlier, and simulate scenarios before they become apparent in the results. Thanks to self-service analytics features and an intuitive user interface, business units can create analyses on their own without having to wait in long queues with the IT department.

Our expertise
Comprehensive SAC Projects for Banks: From Data Source to Decision
We’ll guide you through the implementation of SAP Analytics Cloud, as well as the creation, expansion, and modernization of reports and engaging dashboards. In doing so, we combine SAC’s technical expertise with an understanding of banking (e.g., risk, treasury, and finance) to ensure that key performance indicators are consistent, transparent, and relevant for management decision-making. From design and data integration through data modeling and data preparation to the final visualization, we provide an end-to-end solution that includes governance, a roles-and-permissions framework, and prototyping.
Architecture & Integration Tailored to Your System Environment
As an experienced IT service provider, we integrate SAP Analytics Cloud into your overall architecture in the cloud or in hybrid system environments. Depending on the requirements, we implement either live connection or data import scenarios. This gives you (nearly) real-time visibility into your key metrics, allowing you not only to visualize data but also to use it strategically for management and decision-making.
Reporting for Bank Management with SAP Analytics Cloud
SAP Analytics Cloud is frequently used in banks as a central analytics layer for management reporting, regulatory filings, and self-service analytics. We implement standard reports for market price risk, liquidity management, credit risk, and P&L in SAC for you. Starting with data integration and modeling, through the creation of consistent key metrics and valuation logic, all the way to interactive dashboards, standardized reporting channels, and role-based and approval processes.
Typical Banking Use Cases with SAP Analytics Cloud
Market Price Risk (MPR):
Value at Risk, Sensitivities, and Limit Monitoring
In market price risk reporting, we provide you with comprehensive Value-at-Risk (VaR) reporting based on scenario values—from calculation through to delivery in the reports. We present the results from a group-wide perspective and allow you to drill down to the deal level. In addition, we implement day-over-day comparisons and time series so that you can quickly identify and understand trends and deviations. We provide sensitivity analyses in appropriate visualizations, such as for credit spreads, foreign exchange (FX), equities, and interest rates. To ensure effective control, we also incorporate your corporate limits into key performance indicator and variance analyses so that limit violations are identified early on.
Liquidity Management:
Net Liquidity Position, Buckets, and Stress Tests
As part of our liquidity management services, we provide you with transparent reporting on your net liquidity position (normal case and stress scenarios), including daily calculations and clear, easy-to-understand presentations. In addition, we prepare time buckets and enable you to analyze deviations from your limits, allowing you to identify critical developments early on. In addition, we provide a timeline of the liquidity buffer requirements and offer transparency regarding the results from short-term deposits and short-term deposit products.
Credit risk:
EAD, NPE, PD/LGD, and Risk Provisions
In credit risk, we implement a structured reporting system for key metrics—such as EAD, NPE, PD, LGD, and LLP—and prepare the data in a consistent and transparent manner. We provide you with the analyses, for example, are available in the monthly reporting at the asset class level and enable comparisons of actual values with budgeted and forecast values. In addition, we establish standardized reporting channels for management and for external reporting to ensure that content is reusable, verifiable, and available in a timely manner.
Profit & Loss:
Economic P&L, Valuation Models, and YTD/MTD
In the area of Profit & Loss (P&L), we implement consistent reporting of the economic income statement for financial assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet items. To this end, we prepare analyses based on relevant valuation methods, such as OCI (Other Comprehensive Income), FVPL (Fair Value Profit or Loss), and AC (Amortized Cost), and present the results in a transparent manner. In addition, we consolidate and visualize net present value metrics in year-to-date, month-to-date, and date-to-date views, so you can reliably track trends over time.
