Unlock Financial & Supply Chain Insights Without IT Dependency
Traditional SAP reporting and forecasting require IT-heavy data extraction and complex analytical tools, slowing down access to insights. Angles for SAP, an insightsoftware solution, eliminates these barriers with a self-service platform that:
- Processes high volumes of SAP data for fast access to business insights.
- Applies predictive analytics and business logic to refine forecasting.
- Stores structured insights in a data warehouse for on-demand reporting.
- Enables decision-makers to run queries and generate reports without IT reliance.
Breaking Free from Legacy Constraints
The Angles for SAP legacy database was difficult to scale and occasionally experienced inconsistent query performance. Since SAP data is built for transactions, not analytics, reporting was slow and inefficient. Also, key supply chain processes like procurement, stock control, sales, and production were siloed, limiting end-to-end visibility.
With daily data refreshes, insightsoftware needed a system that could handle multiterabyte datasets and hundreds of thousands of weekly queries at sub-second to seconds speed to meet customer SLAs. They migrated to a cloud data warehouse for better scalability and performance but faced excessive costs and scalability challenges as data grew.
Finding the Right Solution
When insightsoftware explored Yellowbrick to solve performance and scalability challenges. Skeptical of Yellowbrick’s claims of superior performance, cost efficiency, and scalability, they ran a proof of concept to confirm its capabilities
