In one of the enterprise analytics implementations I worked on, we faced a common challenge:

Balancing real-time operational reporting with advanced analytics and historical insights.

The approach we adopted was a hybrid model:

• Operational reporting using SAP Embedded Analytics / SAC live models

• Historical and cross-system analytics using a cloud data platform

• Advanced analytics and AI use cases built on top of curated datasets

AI is one of the most discussed topics in analytics today.

However, many organizations are still exploring where AI actually delivers measurable value.

Across enterprise analytics environments, AI is being applied in areas such as:

• Forecasting and predictive planning

• Anomaly detection in operational data

• Automated data quality monitoring
