In our increasingly digitalized world, the ability to collect, analyze, and gain insights from this data is critical. Analytics plays a central role in digital transformation as it enables companies to make data-driven decisions that lead to better business outcomes. Furthermore, today&#8217;s business world requires more than ever that all employees, regardless of their role or position, be able to use data effectively. This enables them to find innovative solutions, improve processes, reduce costs, and open up new opportunities. I see four key areas for the further development of analytical skills:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Data Decentralization<\/strong>: data decentralization is about distributing and managing data across different areas and platforms. This can improve data accessibility and utilization but also requires tight control and management to ensure data consistency and security. The challenge is to find the right balance between decentralization and control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trustworthy data<\/strong>: Data is only as good as its quality and reliability. Ensuring that the data we use is accurate, up-to-date, and complete is a major challenge. This requires robust data quality management practices and often the implementation of data cleansing and validation technologies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data empowerment<\/strong>: Data empowerment refers to the ability of all employees in an organization to access and use data for their work. One challenge is to provide the necessary training and resources to enable all team members to use data effectively. At the same time, the company must comply with data protection regulations and ensure that sensitive data is protected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data innovation<\/strong>: With the rapid evolution of technologies and analytics, it is a constant challenge to stay up-to-date and find innovative ways to utilize data. This may involve implementing artificial intelligence, machine learning, or advanced data visualization techniques. It requires an ongoing investment in technology and expertise as well as a culture of openness to experimentation and change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc6d043 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fc6d043\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-266c8c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"266c8c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Is SAP (still) the right partner for the new challenges?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52a7e96 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"52a7e96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To overcome these challenges, it is crucial that companies have a clear data strategy that is supported by senior management. In addition, it&#8217;s important to continually invest in data management skills and technologies and foster a data-driven culture throughout the organization.<br \/>\nIn short, harnessing the power of analytics isn&#8217;t just desirable &#8211; it&#8217;s absolutely necessary for any organization that wants to succeed in the modern business world.<\/p>\n<p>Last week&#8217;s DSAG annual conference was an important meeting place for SAP user companies in the German-speaking world. However, customers expressed their dissatisfaction with the product strategy. One frequently mentioned concern is that they do not want to be forced into the cloud. They believe that the costs involved in carrying out the necessary migration steps are too high.<\/p>\n<p>The use of cloud products is currently often causing difficulties for users. On the one hand, the further development of products is not progressing fast enough. On the other hand, updates lead to existing applications being &#8220;destroyed&#8221; or having to be constantly migrated. This raises questions about the stability and reliability of cloud solutions and requires careful consideration of the long-term strategy for digital transformation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d304ad1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d304ad1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3896f51 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3896f51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">But where do we stand with the current products in the SAP Analytics portfolio? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f647cb2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f647cb2\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee94391 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ee94391\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubeserv.com\/de\/loesungen\/sap-data-warehousing\/sap-datasphere\/\" target=\"_blank\">SAP Datasphere<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebbcbe1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ebbcbe1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3373a4c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3373a4c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c64e76 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c64e76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>SAP Datasphere is a cloud platform that has been specially developed for processing large volumes of data.

S\/4HANA in particular already offers a lot of possibilities here, which I don&#8217;t think everyone is taking advantage of yet.<\/p>\n<p>Core Data Services (CDS) views are crucial in the S\/4HANA world as they build on existing database tables and views to enable efficient data modeling. They offer a variety of highly effective built-in functions such as SQL operators, aggregations, and expressions to create views. Because the CDS views that make up the Virtual Data Model (VDM) follow consistent modeling and naming rules, they can provide business data in a format that is easy to understand and use.<\/p>\n<p>The power of CDS views is also evident in their ability to enable more advanced and semantically rich data modeling. They are an improvement on the ABAP layer and provide an enhanced and semantically richer data model. This not only improves data processing and query performance but also facilitates data modeling. However, it must be clearly stated that the development of CDS views is not for the business user. This requires a specialist who can deal with all the problems of availability and communication of requirements.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6028b6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b6028b6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70fc8c6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"70fc8c6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e63dea4 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e63dea4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another advantage of CDS views is the time saved during Fiori app development.

This gives good reasons for companies to rely on SAP. At the same time, I see many requirements where the complexity and focus on SAP functions is unnecessary ballast. In my view, this speaks in favor of a hybrid solution. Especially as the further development of products and prices is only partially secured for the future. Technological change and business decisions by SAP are difficult to predict. The trick is to combine a powerful portfolio of different suppliers and technologies into a [business analytics] platform in such a way that different uses (&#8220;as if from a single source&#8221;) are possible from the user&#8217;s perspective.
