SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud

In the previous chapter, we discussed SAP HANA Cloud as the managed offering of HANA that can be used as the database runtime for data modeling and HANA native development.

We will continue our data-to-value journey and learn about the data management solutions built on top of SAP HANA and how they can help translate enterprise data into business insights.

In this chapter, we will focus on the following topics:

  • SAP Data Warehouse Cloud (DWC)
  • SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Through this chapter, you will learn about the advanced modeling capabilities and collaboration that are provided through a virtualized workspace called Space in SAP DWC, as well as data visualization, Business Intelligence (BI), and augmented analytics in SAC.
