SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics – Real-time analytics seamlessly integrated into your business processes
User-Friendly, Intuitive Analytics Right within Your ERP Environment
SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics revolutionizes the traditional IT landscape by eliminating the common separation between transactional and analytical systems, thereby enabling seamless integration of real-time analytics directly into your business processes. Analytics, reporting, and dashboarding do not take place in a separate data warehouse, as is usually the case. Instead, the existing analytical functions of SAP HANA in-memory technology can be applied directly to the data in the SAP S/4HANA system. This means that analyses can be performed in the same system where the data is generated—your SAP S/4HANA Core Banking or ERP system.
This real-time access makes it possible to gain early insights from the database and make timely decisions—always based on the most up-to-date data and without the need for additional data storage or modeling. SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics also supports the “insight-to-action” paradigm established in SAP S/4HANA by enabling users to switch directly from reports and analyses to transactional processes or to perform actions immediately within the current analytics application.
The implementation of SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics consists of three core components: SAP ABAP Core Data Services (CDS) creates a virtual data model that transforms the underlying business data of the S/4HANA system into business views that are structurally optimized for analytical purposes. SAP provides predefined CDS views as Business Content, which can be customized for each customer. The data structures are made available via the open data protocol OData. These backend services can be integrated into SAP Fiori interfaces to enable users to analyze and evaluate this information. Alternatively, the visualization can be performed in other SAP applications, such as SAP Analytics Cloud. Thus, the SAP S/ system serves as an integrated analytical and transactional platform.
