What is the difference between &#8220;Live&#8221; and &#8220;Acquired&#8221; data connections?<\/strong><br \/>Live connections keep data in the source system and are commonly used for real-time reporting and strong data governance.<br \/>Acquired data connections replicate data into SAC, which enables planning workflows, write-back scenarios, and advanced modelling features. Some advanced analytics capabilities also benefit from imported data models.<\/p><p><strong>2. How does &#8220;Joule&#8221; (SAP\u2019s AI) integrate with Analytics Cloud?<\/strong><br \/>SAP is introducing Joule as an AI copilot across its cloud portfolio, including analytics scenarios. SAC already includes AI-assisted features such as automated insights and natural-language search, and these capabilities are expected to expand as SAP\u2019s AI roadmap evolves.<\/p><p><strong>3. Can SAC replace my Excel-based financial planning?<\/strong><br \/>Yes, but with a caveat. SAC\u2019s Planning module is designed to replace &#8220;Excel Hell&#8221; by providing a single version of the truth, automated workflows, and data locking. However, it retains an &#8220;Excel-like&#8221; interface (the Grid) so finance teams don&#8217;t lose their comfort zone while gaining enterprise-grade security.<\/p><p><strong>4. What are the licensing tiers for SAC?<\/strong><br \/>SAC licensing typically distinguishes between users focused on analytics and those requiring planning capabilities. Planning licenses include analytics features, while advanced development capabilities, such as Analytic Designer, are available for building custom applications within the platform.<\/p><p><strong>5. How does SAC handle non-SAP data?<\/strong><br \/>SAC supports a wide range of data sources, including non-SAP databases, flat files, and API-based integrations. While it works particularly well with SAP sources such as HANA or BW, where semantic models and hierarchies can be reused, it is designed to operate in heterogeneous data landscapes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a12286 elementor-widget elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"9a12286\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbs-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Asilah-Halim.jpeg\" alt=\"Picture of Asilah Halim\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAsilah Halim\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Asilah support marketing initiatives across Asia Pacific at cbs Corporate Business Solutions, developing campaigns and programs that connect with diverse audiences across the region.
