Snapshot from a recent Multi-Country SAC rollout
GrayMatter has implemented complex multi-country SAC engagements successfully. Following is a snapshot from a recent engagement:
- Reporting and analysis needed to be done on data merged from two business lines, with transactional data residing in 2 separate SAP ECC instances
- As-is reporting and analysis was being done using SAP BW and Bex queries for one system and using IBM Cognos for the other
- GrayMatter’s team of experts integrated the data from the 2 ECC systems on to a single platform using SAP BODS for data integration and SQL for the data warehouse
- Subsequently data is pushed from this unified platform on to SAC for analytics, multiple cubes have been built in SAC
- The unified platform provides a single source of truth with consistent reporting ensured by data governance and master data management
- The business users are currently using the system to generate insightful, mobile responsive, self-service SAC stories. Enterprise dashboards are planned for forthcoming releases
- The system is replete with role based access and authorization
