Business processes such as order-to-cash are critical to organizations, particularly for the retail and manufacturing enterprise. And SAP contains valuable data related to the process such as sales orders, distribution, and financial data.
But it can be a challenge to access and integrate data in SAP systems with data from other sources to get a full view of the end-to-end process. Adding in organizational silos and data fragmentation makes it even more difficult to integrate SAP data with modern analytics projects.
But what if there was a way to expand the value of your SAP data? To utilize the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) engine together with the data processing and management of Snowflake and Qlik Cloud’s Data and Analytics services. Such a solution could help organizations accelerate many common SAP centric business transformation initiatives.
It’s here! Qlik, together with AWS and Snowflake, is excited to announce a single solution that combines the modern capabilities and experience of three technology leaders to help everyone within the organization gain SAP data insights.
Qlik is an AWS Data and Analytics Competency Partner as well as a Migration and Modernization Competency Partner that provides an end-to-end, real-time data integration and cloud analytics platform. Snowflake has AWS Competencies in Data and Analytics, as well as Machine Learning, and has reimagined the data cloud for today’s digital transformation needs.
Qlik Cloud Data Integration easily works with Snowflake on AWS to solve some of the most common SAP business problems.
