Challenges
Complex SAP data structures prevent quick responses
SAP systems are distributed and difficult to access. Companies need quick and clear analytical answers, but the IT department often lacks the necessary resources, and business lacks data access. There are untapped opportunities for SAP analytics in finance, audit, compliance and AI because:
SAP data is difficult to understand
SAP stores information across many tables, making it virtually unusable without a model or data products.
01
Business needs answers, IT lacks the time
Other departments have to wait for the IT department to provide data and perform analyses, rather than analyzing the data themselves.
02
Manual checks are inefficient
Each analysis must be rebuilt. This process is error-prone, and the results cannot be compared or repeated.
03
Risks remain undetected
Without the right analytics, ICS violations, process gaps, or cash recovery potential fall through the cracks.
04
AI teams struggle with data quality
Accessing and preparing data is time-consuming. Complex SAP structures also slow down the training and automation of models.
05
Process optimization takes too long
A lack of transparency can prevent quick business decisions and hinder efficiency.

We got to know dab as a reliable and committed partner. That is why we opted for their “Support Gold” and technical assistance for our Analytic Projects and Automation initiatives.
Andreas Noserke
We always had the feeling that duplicate payments were slipping through – despite the dual control principle and SAP controls. The analysis not only showed us true duplicate payments, but false positives are also recognised by the AI and no longer need to be checked as much. This saves us an enormous amount of time in follow-up processing. The combination of rule-based analysis and learning AI is a real added value for us.
