Title: SAP Preferred Success: Unlocking Value with Design Discovery Checks
Introduction:
In my previous blog Elevating SAP Consumption with SAP Preferred Success: A Comprehensive Guide, we explored the SAP Preferred Success program, highlighting its five key activities supported by three programs that align with a customer’s lifecycle. Today, we delve deeper into one of these activities: Design Discovery Checks. 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.
