The Future of Financial Planning: Driver-Based with SAP Analytics Cloud

Are you also reaching your limits in financial planning with standalone Excel models and a high level of detail? After all, you’re really looking for planning approaches that respond quickly to changes, make interrelationships transparent, and enable well-informed decisions.

Our experts, together with Prof. Dr. Andreas Seufert , will demonstrate how this can be achieved with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) in a webinar on September 24, 2026, at 10 a.m. Experience firsthand how driver-based financial planning improves planning quality, breaks down silos, and significantly shortens planning cycles.
