SAP s cloud based solution Integrated Business Planning (IBP) takes the headache out of the inventory, logistics and planning stages by bringing these elements together in a HANA powered environment where simulations and optimizations can take seconds rather than days of manual calculations. You will see how IBP effectively integrates these capabilities into an integrated process supporting a repeated planning cadence, as well as ad hoc and opportunistic assessment of the impact of supply chain disruptions, new business opportunities, and customer requests.
