SAP still offers both the platform and the front-end applications for reports and analyses under the name SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence and continues to develop the solution.
The upgrade successor to SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.3 (Support Package 3) is the SAP BusinessObjects BI 2025 version, which will be released in the fourth quarter of 2024.
However, the strategic successor to SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence is already available: SAP Analytics Cloud.
It is currently the most comprehensive tool from the SAP Analytics area and a pure cloud solution. SAC is a central and web-based platform on which all of a company's planning, reporting and analyses can be brought together.
While SAP BO is a pure BI solution that can be used to convert company data into insights, the SAP Analytics Cloud includes both business intelligence and predictive planning.
The SAC uses innovative technologies such as machine learning and predictive analytics.
Ultimately, this enables well-founded decisions to be made on the basis of real-time data - even in extremely complex scenarios. In the context of big data, the SAP Analytics Cloud also enables the connection of various on-premise and cloud data sources from the SAP and non-SAP environment.
