Data as a competitive advantage: the importance of reporting & visualization
Reporting with SAP provides dashboards that efficiently monitor the contributions of the various departments in the company. All data points along the value chain are continuously visualized and processed.
Different data from many different business processes and applications is produced in the various areas of a company. The challenge is to consolidate this information as reliably and efficiently as possible in order to generate forward-looking insights for well-founded decisions. A holistic view of your data and therefore your business processes is the only way to achieve this - an elementary factor for securing and sustainably increasing your business success.
