Norsk Hydro Datasphere Journey 

Hydro’s SAP analytics concept was based around the use of S/4HANA, BW/4HANA and the analytical front-end tools SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and Analysis for Office (AO). This was the backbone for SAP enterprise analytics and highly governed by IT (CDS views in S/4 and calculations views in BW/4). The front-end tools SAC and AO enable business users with flexibility in terms of self-service visualization and light weight “modelling” functions.

But we also have some more advanced users (not IT) that are skilled in SQL and general data modelling. Learn how Hydro enables skilled business users to do data modeling and data science tasks in a secure and compliant environment.
