About the project
Long-term support of financial reporting and planning processes through the implementation of a solution using SAP Analytics Cloud. The project involves centralising the reporting system using SAC as a single point of truth (consolidation of reports from other tools such as Tableau, SAP BO, Spotfire into SAC).
During the implementation, data models (live and Cloud) were created and then, after analysis of user requirements, a set of reports visualising the most important business processes such as Balance Sheet, P&L, Sales, Aeginig Alarms etc. was created. Training was provided for end users and Power Users, so that they could make full use of the implemented solution.
Projects managed using the agile Scrum technique.
