What is the SAP Spend
Control Tower solution?
OVERVIEW AND BENEFITS
SAP Spend Control Tower is SAP’s new, next-generation analytics solution
designed to give companies faster, better visibility into enterprise-wide
spend data. Built on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) –
providing a strong foundation for rapid innovation – the new solution
quickly captures and transforms data from multiple source systems into
relevant information you can see all in one place. Automated connectors
expedite integration with SAP ERP, streamlining data extraction, cleansing,
enrichment, mapping, and more, with support for uploads from non-SAP
systems as well. A sleek and modern user interface powered by SAP
Analytics Cloud streamlines tasks and workflows, allowing you to complete
even complex analyses with simplicity and speed. The solution also
includes a new AI/machine learning (ML) model for spend categorization
based on United Nations Standard Product and Service Code (UNSPSC)
version 25 as well as supplier enrichment from Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). The
underlying data model is delivered through the procurement data
warehouse capability, which is built with data lake architecture using SAP
S/4HANA, SAP BTP, and SAP Analytics Cloud.
