Guesswork is out. In today’s environment, businesses need to run on facts and analytics—anchored in timely, accurate data that can support new levels of automation, reporting, trends-spotting, forecasting, and decision-making. Yet many organizations investing in SAP S/4HANA can struggle to turn their data into analytic insights and intelligence—often because they made analytics an afterthought rather than a leading consideration for business transformation.

By pivoting to an “Analytics First” mindset and approach, organizations can position their businesses to operate with more intelligence from end to end—prepared to respond, adapt, and thrive. Deloitte can help—no matter where you are in your transformation journey with SAP S/4HANA.

Making analytics No. 1

Deloitte brings a tested methodology for building an analytics-enabled enterprise. Our goal: to help you create a seamless digital enterprise environment that runs on your data and the analytic insights it can provide.

Extending from on premises to cloud and into your networks, it’s an environment designed to help you better understand your business today and better predict what’s coming tomorrow—whether in finance, the supply chain, the customer experience, the workforce, or other parts of the enterprise. It’s also an environment that combines clean data, a business process foundation, and flexible access to insights to help you differentiate your business—through greater automation, innovation, and service.

For SAP customers, our analytics-enabled approach is aligned tightly with the SAP S/4HANA journey and the vision of RISE with SAP and “business transformation as a service.” Each step of the way, Deloitte can work with you to plan, execute, and operate an analytics-enabled organization.

Before an SAP S/4HANA transformation
• Build the business case for an Analytics First transformation
• Assess your current state and create a future-state model of an analytics-driven business
• Develop a model-based approach for transforming data into real-time insights, without having to first transform your system landscape

During SAP S/4HANA transformation
• Launch an Analytics First program in unison with an SAP S/4HANA implementation
• Accelerate time to value for your SAP S/4HANA finance transformation
• Enable faster analytic insights to support your business, with a foundation to support SAP and non-SAP data sources; accelerate your 360-degree analytical view foundation

After SAP S/4HANA implementation
• Assess and prioritize opportunities for generating additional business insights
• Drive business innovation using analytic insights—for touchless processes, AI-enabled transactions, IoT applications, new customer offerings, and more
• Help you operate and continually enhance your analytics-enabled ecosystem
• Enable your 360-degree analytical view foundation
