SAP Analytics is delivered as part of SAP Business Suite solutions and is also available standalone, providing analytics to support both general-purpose and industry-specific business processes.

With SAP Analytics, you can perform the following:

• Business analysis – SAP Analytics empowers your organization by giving businesspeople across the extended value network in-depth insights into their business. Visualization features such as interactive charts help them understand what is happening and why. Plus, a wide variety of out-of-the-box content lets them analyze their specific business areas with best-practice business analysis.
• Creation and modification of analytic applications – SAP Analytics is intuitive and easy to customize to meet the different business needs of the functional areas across your business. Businesspeople can understand, deploy, and customize business models for analytics, assembling them from predefined components – without help from developers. They can easily extend existing analytics, or even create their own analytic applications, without the intervention of the IT department.

Leveraging the full functionality of the SAP NetWeaver platform, SAP Analytics also enables strategy formulation and the delivery of insights through an enterprise portal, integration of data from SAP Business Intelligence and real-time data feeds, and comprehensive master data management that produces consistent insights derived from multiple SAP installations or from a heterogeneous mix of business applications.
