SAP Cloud for Analytics [0] (tutorials/how the software works is available for free @ YouTube[1]).

What sets SAP C4A apart from the competitor is a product/vertical app built on-top of SAP C4A platform: Digital Boardroom [2] (pics behind the guy is from production software) where the execs can see the company performance (Financials, Perf, or other metrics) Actual and Forecast in real-time.
