Five Key Ideas
• SaaS is a growing channel that more and more organizations
are leveraging for their Enterprise Software needs
• SAP Cloud for Planning is a new Public Cloud solution from
SAP
• SAP Cloud for Planning is a unified planning and analytics
solution that is future oriented, people-centric and analytics
embedded.
• C4P has a number of rich features including Event Manager,
Allocations and Stories.
• C4P does not replace BPC but is instead complementary and
can be used in Hybrid planning scenarios.
