NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced the SAP® Analytics Cloud solution is now available with new machine learning features to uncover correlations in an organization's data and help users make faster, more confident decisions. The announcement was made at the Strata Data Conference being held September 12–14 in New York City.

Data scientists, who use scientific methods to extract knowledge from data, are a scarce resource inside most organizations. With SAP Analytics Cloud, business users have simplified access to powerful capabilities that unlock complex insight and can automatically detect issues before they arise. Machine learning enabled, SAP Analytics Cloud allows users to forecast future performance with just a single click. It also can provide risk and correlation detection, autonomous creation of advanced dashboards and storyboards, and hyper-personalized insights into data about suppliers, vendors and customers, including anomaly detection.

"Analytics is shifting from a passive system to an active system, and through new augmented analytics capabilities, our technologies are able to facilitate faster and confident decisions," said Mala Anand, president, SAP Analytics and SAP Leonardo. "With SAP Analytics Cloud, organizations are able to eliminate repetitive tasks and countless hours spent conducting simple data visualization, which allows analysts and decision-makers to spend more time focused on applying human ingenuity and creative reasoning toward actually solving these complex business decisions."

Rainforest Connection plans to use predictive analytics and machine learning to take action on illegal deforestation.

"We use advanced analytics to alert local forest rangers to areas of concern before illegal activity begins. SAP Analytics Cloud provides a visual display of illegal logging activities to local authorities," Rainforest Connection CEO Topher White said in the company's 2018 SAP Innovation Award entry.
