Explaining Analytics

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain Operational & Performance Analytics

What are the Analytics options?

Use APM Analytics

One example of analytics in APM is Failure Curve Analytics which lets you view the age at which your equipment may fail within an age range and the likeliness of the failure by using a failure curve with different insights. This helps you detect potential failure risks early and plan actions to prevent failures.

The failure curve with the different insights is calculated per failure mode for a group of equipment (fleet group) with similar operating conditions.

For calculating the failure curve and the insights, machine learning is used (a form of artificial intelligence - AI). In that process, model configurations are trained and scored using certain algorithms. The model configuration contains different input data that is used by the algorithm to produce outputs (results).

Connect to SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

SAP Analytics Cloud is an all-in-one cloud product offered as software as a service (SaaS) for business intelligence (BI), planning, and predictive analytics. Built natively on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), it provides a unified and secure public cloud experience to maximize data-driven decision making.

With SAP Analytics Cloud you can create your own highly customized dashboards - based on virtually any data source.

Run S/4HANA Embedded Analytics

There are many analytic tools relevant to SAP S/4HANA. These tools are either part of embedded or strategic analytics.

  • Embedded Analytics

    A collection of Fiori apps based on so-called CDS views (Core Data Services), connecting directly to the HANA database.

  • Strategic Analytics

    A collection of tools with an extra license, such as BusinessObjects Business Intelligence, connecting f.ex. to SAP BW.
