Program Overview: What is SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)?
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is instructor-led corporate training that builds hands-on SAC capability for your team. Over 24 hours, SAP functional consultants and finance professionals learn to connect SAP data, build executive-ready stories, run planning models, and forecast with predictive scenarios, all practiced in guided labs.
The method is lab-driven. Each capability pairs a concise briefing with hands-on building: connecting S/4HANA data, designing stories, modeling planning versions and allocations, and running predictive scenarios. Instructors review every build, so misconceptions surface in the room instead of in your rollout. Your team leaves with a working SAC application for their own finance use case.
The payoff is planning and reporting your finance team can trust. Stories refresh themselves, planning leaves spreadsheet chaos behind, and predictive scenarios sharpen every forecast. Your organization keeps a repeatable delivery playbook: connections to stories to planning models, run the same way every cycle.
The capstone is a complete SAC application: each team builds a planning model with stories and predictive insight for their finance use case, presented for instructor review.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
SAP Analytics Cloud comes after your team can work in S/4HANA, because SAC reports and dashboards draw on the transactions they already handle. From analysis, the path moves into planning with IBP and then onto BTP, where teams connect and extend SAP data and applications.

Connect SAP Analytics Cloud Models With Useful Planning and Insight
Edstellar develops SAC capability through connected data, visualization, and planning exercises. Participants prepare models, build stories, configure input, and examine predictive outputs using sample business information. A complete SAC application is reviewed for coherent data relationships, clear analytical communication, and planning decisions that participants can explain and defend.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore SAP familiarity, planning responsibilities, and reporting gaps to identify where data connections, model design, or analytical interpretation need attention.
- Step 02
Plan
SAC foundations lead into live and imported data, stories, planning inputs, and predictive features before an integrated application and design review.
- Step 03
Align
SAP analytics and planning expertise supports functional consultants and finance teams, adjusting technical explanations to their existing SAP and reporting experience.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample financial and operational datasets reflect relevant planning questions, allowing teams to test model assumptions and stories without exposing confidential forecasts.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants configure connections, develop planning models, and interpret predictive drivers, receiving feedback on data preparation, visualization choices, and the limits of analytical conclusions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the SAC application for consistent data modeling, usable stories, coherent planning inputs, and an evidence-based explanation of predictive results.
