Organizations that have worked with SAP BPC for years leverage a wealth of data and proven structures. A hybrid setup combining BPC and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is the logical next step to balance speed and security. Finext views BPC as the perfect bridge to carry the best of your current system into a modern environment.
Native integration between SAP BPC and SAC
The strength of a hybrid solution lies in the standard integration between both systems. BPC is a natural data source for SAC. You do not need technical APIs or complex middleware for data connectivity.
This ensures a seamless user experience for finance teams:
- Direct data exchange. Data flows smoothly from the core to the visual shell.
- Triggering BPC logic. You can start BPC calculations and logic directly from your SAC stories.
- One version of the truth. You combine the depth of BPC with the flexibility of SAC without doubling your administration.
A phased migration approach to maximize trust
A transition only succeeds when the business fully trusts the numbers. This is why we use a phased project approach within our Continuous Improvement philosophy. We do not simply migrate BPC functionality one-to-one. We rebuild with specific improvements to the process.
Our approach ensures quality through three clear steps:
- Migration with improvement. We critically review existing logic and optimize wherever possible.
- Dry runs and parallel testing. We perform parallel runs to compare results from SAC and BPC side-by-side.
- Building stakeholder trust. This direct comparison provides controllers and auditors with the necessary confidence in the new environment.
Proven success with industry leaders
Designing hybrid SAP landscapes is part of our daily practice. Finext has supported organizations such as Boskalis, LeasePlan, BAM, KPN, and Stedin in optimizing their consolidation and reporting. Our experience with these major players shows that a gradual route provides the most stability for the finance function.
Focus on Tech Implementation and Adoption
Technology only creates value when teams work with it effectively. We use Success Management to ensure the new way of working is truly embraced by your people. This is at the heart of our Tech Implementation service.
Finext helps you with:
- Selecting the right processes to move to SAC.
- Setting up the standard integration between your SAP systems.
- Guiding your team through the phased transition with hands-on support.
