SAP BI Portfolio comprises two key solutions
SAP Analytics Cloud
If you are looking to take advantage of the
benefits of a cloud solution, SAP Analytic
Cloud is the strategic analytics platform for
all SAP applications.
SAP BusinessObjects BI suite
If you prefer to manage your applications
on premises, SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite is
the best and most scalable enterprise
reporting solution in the industry.
Many customers use both solutions side by side
