Why SAP Net Margin Analysis?
Analytics “Pay Back $10.66 for Every Dollar Spent”
An investment in analytics represents one of the richest
investment opportunities (NUCLEUS Research)
Focus on revenue-related data
Ÿ The more analytics was used to learn about revenue drivers,
including who the customers are, what they buy, and their price
sensitivities, the more line-of-business managers were able to
increase their top lines
Focus on cost-related data
Ÿ By gaining more knowledge about margins of the different products
and services within a company’s offering, the better able an
organization was to dedicate efforts towards higher-margin activities
