Bender GmbH & Co. KG Success Story of a customer project
Bender, a globally acting electrical engineering group, has successfully made an SAP BW transition in order to individually control its central reporting and increase the IT management’s independence. Bender, a family-run company with 16 locations, integrated its subsidiaries into a cloud-based analytics system to establish standardized and global reporting. For a smooth transition, Bender relied on SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and the FIS know-how. The successive implementation enabled the employees to learn the new system step by step and use it independently, which considerably increased the company’s flexibility and efficiency. The success of this transition becomes apparent in improved transparency and simplified work processes in all departments. Future enhancements, such as mobile dashboards for the executive board, are already planned.

One user interface for all decision-making processes – SAP Analytics Cloud
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) unites Business Intelligence, planning and enhanced analysis options, such as Predictive Analytics, in one central user interface. SAP Analytics Cloud is particularly characterized by a high-performance visual design of data, e.g. in the form of stories or dashboards.
SAC focuses on strategic reporting and its software-as-a-service offer is aimed primarily at management, controlling and accounting, but also marketing and HR. In all user departments, forecasts and decisions can be made using the application on the basis of up-to-date and correct data. To derive strategies and operational processes, dashboards and infographics can be put together intuitively with just a few clicks using the Drag&Drop function. SAP Analytics Cloud enables the use and presentation of real-time data for ad hoc analyses, which makes complicated visualization preparations unnecessary.
The cloud solution can be integrated consistently into SAP or, partially, non-SAP systems. The powerful HANA in-memory technology makes data quickly available at any time and provides the optimal basis for the use of new technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence.
