Turning raw data into business intelligence can be a challenge for manufacturers. Without the proper tools, getting meaningful insights out of SAP data to improve production and supply chain operations can be incredibly difficult. Finance teams, now more than ever, are expected to take a leading role in organizational data and have expanded their reach outside of financial data to include operational analysis.

In this demonstration, SAP subject matter expert Mark Pockl will show you how to quickly build finance reports that can continuously aid in analyzing the costs that determine business outcomes.
