Not everyone likes broccoli
User friendliness and usability. Endless rolls of data printouts are a dream for some analysts. Others like graphics and visualisations, while others prefer compressions in the form of KPIs and KRIs. dab:AnalyticSuite accommodates all these options.
Details
Understanding data in SAP® requires details. They are provided by dab:AnalyticSuite together with all necessary information. The data can be viewed and processed further in ACL™, Excel™ or via a web browser.
Visualisations
Especially when accessing data via a web browser, the solution, which is based on ACL™ Analytics Exchange as engine, offers multiple opportunities for user-friendly visualisation. Filters and conditional formattings are also possible.
KPI & KRI
To be able to make management-level decisions, you need information condensed into one or a few key indicators. We know what matters when generating these indicators, and provide the most important KPIs/KRIs for you for each individual analysis.
A concept-based solution
We have eliminated time-wasting tasks for you. Do you worry about where to find the right data? Then once you’ve found them, do they need to be combined and prepared so they are of use to you? And all this is just preparatory work before you start the actual analyses. With dab:AnalyticSuite, we do all this for you
Data definition
We tell you which SAP® data are needed for all analyses. Our knowledge spans hundreds of SAP® tables and thousands of fields.
Data preparation
At a push of a button, the raw data are correctly combined to create a simple, clean data pool. It already contains all information required to understand the results.
Detailed analysis
The individual analyses are performed using the correct data pool; at the click of a button, you are provided with the very results which you previously had to generate afresh each time in a laborious manual process.
How it works
3 steps to success. Central, integrated, rich in content and user-friendly – with dab:AnalyticSuite, standardising data analytics is no problem.
Smooth data access
dab:Exporter ensures that the data from your SAP® system are effortlessly extracted. Even extremely large data volumes are not a problem. Data can be accessed directly by the specialist department.
Central data repository, analytics engine and content
The raw data extracted from SAP® are stored centrally on the server. Allowing you to avoid redundancies with large data volumes and comply with all data protection standards within your company. The ACL™ Analytics Exchange analytics software is also installed on the server and acts as the data processing engine. dab:AnalyticSuite serves as the analytics content; your analyses/reports are implemented as apps for ACL™ and are responsible for producing the results.
User-friendly results
DACL™ AX technology allows us to provide the results from dab:AnalyticSuite in different formats. While experienced users can access the results using ACL™ analytics software, they can also be provided as Microsoft Excel™ files. However, access via a web browser is especially user-friendly. Users of this approach don’t need analytics software installed, and can view, filter and even visualise results directly in the web browser.
dab:AnalyticSuite versus Common Data Model
With common data model data analytic approaches, data are transferred into a simplified structure from different sources. In theory, data from different ERP systems (e.g. SAP®, Oracle™, Navision™) can be analysed with a single logic. We deliberately decided against this for dab:AnalyticSuite and optimised it for SAP®. This is because we enrich our analyses with lots of essential SAP®-specific information and deliver highly detailed information. We believe this is necessary for in-depth analyses. If SAP® is not your main focus, ACL™ has developed ACL™ Essentials, which we also offer in our capacity as an ACL™ distribution partner.
