New Industry Analytic Applications From SAP Launch in India

SAP India, a subsidiary of SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), today announced local availability of the recently launched  SAP® BusinessObjects™ analytic applications, a family of solutions tailored to address today’s challenges in specific industries and lines of business. With these applications, SAP takes an innovative approach in empowering people across organizations with critical, industry-specific information wherever and however they want to use it.

      Co-created with customers and designed to work in any environment, the applications facilitate better business decision-making by knowledge workers, providing the insight and best practices required to better understand risk, uncover opportunities and make the right decisions to optimize business. Designed to be deployed quickly and deliver value to customers rapidly, the solutions are complete and ready to go, and can also be customized further to meet particular business goals with the help of the SAP Services organization or partner ecosystem.
      People on the frontlines in various industries and business disciplines need timely, trusted business insight now more than ever. It takes a specially developed solution to provide employees with intuitive access to information so they can make impactful decisions fast and gain the competitive edge. For example, effective sales analysis within retail requires dynamic access to multiple data sources and systems across a retailer’s supply chain. In an industry that often functions on single-digit margins, clear and accurate insight into sales and operational figures is critical to survival and can mean the difference between an outstanding quarter and a missed quarter. SAP has worked hand-in-hand with customers to address real-world business problems with the new analytic applications that leverage the market-leading SAP BusinessObjects product portfolio combined with SAP industry and line-of-business expertise.

Quick and Easy to Deploy: Delivers Immediate Value to Customers
The 10 new applications from SAP can be deployed in as little as eight weeks and are designed to work with structured or unstructured data from any SAP or third party vendor system. The initial industries covered by SAP BusinessObjects analytic applications include healthcare, consumer products, public sector, financial services, retail and telecommunications. They tackle a diverse set of issues confronted today by professionals in finance, sales, marketing, risk assessment, patient care management, customer satisfaction and retention, and military planning. The solutions provide customers with both the insight and context they need to help their organizations succeed. The new applications include:
