Frequently Asked Questions
Can SAC work with my existing on-premise data systems?
Yes. SAC supports live connections to many on-premise systems (SAP HANA, S/4HANA, BW/4HANA, SQL), enabling analysis without replicating data.
How often is SAC updated or enhanced?
SAC receives regular feature updates; SAP continuously enhances AI, connectivity and content packs. We manage updates as part of managed services.
