Data, Analytics & AI
The right figure, at the moment the decision is made.
Four challenges, not a catalog of tools: an SAP data architecture that holds, performance management and EPM that reconcile with actuals, operational reporting the business actually uses, and a data foundation AI can rely on. Around SAP and beyond, with no tool dogma.
What CFOs and CIOs tell us
Six problems everyone recognizes.
- Reconciliation
Three figures for the same margin depending on the source; hours lost every month explaining variances rather than deciding.
- Data model
Master data that diverges between finance, sales and procurement; a model no one can explain anymore.
- Closing time
A close that drags on for lack of ready data, and group reporting rebuilt by hand.
- Forecast
A budget prepared in a tool that ignores actuals; rolling forecasts that are nothing of the kind.
- Self-service
Business users waiting on IT for every question, or rebuilding their own extracts in spreadsheets.
- Governance
No one accountable for the quality of a piece of data; the best-looking dashboard lies with complete confidence.
Four challenges
What we address.
SAP data architecture
A unified foundation for SAP and third-party data: SAP Business Data Cloud as the business data layer, Datasphere for modeling and historization, BW/4HANA when it is already there and worth keeping. Governed, high-performance models the business understands.
Performance management & EPM
Budget, rolling forecasts and simulations with SAC Planning; statutory consolidation and group reporting with SAP BFC or S/4HANA Group Reporting. Plan, actuals and consolidated figures in the same loop, and a close that gets shorter.
Operational reporting
SAP Analytics Cloud on the live data of S/4HANA, with no replication and no delay; Power BI, Tableau or Qlik depending on your estate, through CDS Views and OData. The figure on the dashboard is the figure in the transaction, and business users help themselves.
Data foundation for AI
No reliable AI without governed data. Quality, master data, lineage and accountability: the foundation the Joule, agent and Document AI use cases can rely on, and an opening toward Databricks when the scope justifies it.
Our approach
Start from the decisions to be made.
Scope
The decisions to support, the indicators that matter, the real users. We define them in workshops with finance, sales and procurement; the existing landscape comes next.
Model
The data foundation: models, flows and historization with Business Data Cloud, Datasphere or BW/4HANA. A single data model everyone can explain.
Deliver
Dashboards and analytical applications, connected to live S/4HANA data, designed and tested with the users — self-service included.
Plan & consolidate
Budget, forecasts and simulations, enriched with predictive models; consolidation aligned with your closing processes.
Govern
Data quality, master data, accountability: without reliable data, neither performance management nor AI holds up.

From raw data to a shared view of performance.
A team certified on SAP analytics technologies, with dual technical and functional skills: finance, sales, procurement.
- Analytics scoping
Performance management needs, indicators, audiences and target architecture: analytics are designed from the decisions to be made.
- Data foundation & model
Business Data Cloud, Datasphere, BW/4HANA: a fast, governed foundation built to evolve, and a single data model.
- Dashboards & delivery
Executive dashboards, self-service reporting and analytical applications on SAP Analytics Cloud, Power BI, Tableau or Qlik.
- Consolidation & close
Statutory consolidation and group reporting with SAP BFC or S/4HANA Group Reporting, aligned with your closing processes to shorten them.
- Planning & predictive
Budgets, forecasts and simulations with SAC Planning, augmented with predictive models computed on your real data.
- Quality, governance & MDM
Master data, quality rules, lineage, accountability: the condition for everything else, AI included.
