These service are designed to introduce customers, especially those with a low maturity level in domains like Analytics or Data, to the standard content available within SAP solutions. Specifically, we'll focus on Design Discovery Checks within SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and how they help organizations leverage prebuilt SAC stories and Digital Boardrooms on SAP-supported data sources to minimize the time to value.
