Data is an asset that can be monetized in different ways that yield a high ROI. From consumable data sets and analysis results, businesses can go beyond reporting by incorporating the intelligence into existing products, digital platforms, or new business models.
Take, for example, the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. When embedded in process and application workflows, the solution generates real-time analytics insights that provide a more transparent, contextualized view into business outcomes and financial performance. For our partners and their customers, such intelligence fuels decision-making that is more confident, accurate, and swift.
Across our portfolio of platforms, solutions, and technologies that cater to various lines of business, functions, and industries, business value is consistently derived from diverse capabilities – all united on a single modern platform. At SAP, our partner ecosystem is a critical part of bringing to life this advantage that SAP Analytics Cloud offers.
Protecting the partner journey
SAP Analytics Cloud enables software vendors to apply microservices, foundational infrastructure choices, and integrations to achieve outcomes, such as:
- Building predefined content for specific industry needs or customer requirements
- Extending out-of-the-box visualizations with custom widget capabilities to develop their own analytics
- Embedding standardized content into their applications’ business workflows
- Automating the delivery of their solutions to customers by programmatically using APIs
Furthermore, innovations can be quickly extended into the cloud, while still leveraging existing investments in, for example, on-premise solutions with live universe connectivity or a business warehouse that is actively linked to SAP Analytics Cloud.
But that’s not all that SAP Analytics Cloud provides. There is so much more potential that partners can tap to grow and expand their business and help their customers navigate every challenge, risk, and opportunity successfully.
This simple truth empowers us to safeguard our partners journey with a framework of four fundamental milestones:

Revealing customer value by respecting the partner relationship
