SDN Corporate Vision
Data is one of the most crucial elements of a company.
However, it is just data. In this day and age, your company should be able to access it easily.Simply Data Now was founded by data people, not marketing. As of recent, most new tools that have been developed to extract data, create data warehouses and handle reporting have continued to get more complicated, costly and IT resource intensive. At the same time business analyst dependency on IT resources still remains high as ongoing data needs change.
At Simply Data Now, our goal is simple. Provide the lowest cost, most flexible, easiest to implement, easiest to use SAP Table to External Database workflow in existence.
What can you do with that data? Anything you want!

Driving Factors
Data• Data is at the core of the company. We
want to empower companies to be more responsive with their data needs.
• Our solution is extremely dynamic and allows companies to get all the talented business analysts across the enterprise back into the game.
• We give them the ability to be equally as responsive to the “question of the day” as they are to the questions that are asked daily.
• We want to help you run better with the talent you already have in house, through data.
Value• Although data is in our blood, the bottom
line is in our heart.• We can drive millions of dollars of savings
annually to mid - large sized companies. We accomplish this through taking better advantage of the many business analysts across your organization.
• When the business analysts can answer many of the questions daily, the number of reporting requests on all reporting platforms drops.
• This directly results in your ability to reduce spending in this area, especially if consulting services are in play.

IT Requests VolumeBusiness Analyst Capability
As the capability of business analysts increases across your organization, the volume of IT requests will drop.
This will allow you to reduce headcount in the IT area which can make a significant impact to the bottom line when you start with consulting resources.

Cost Savings – Process Improvement Opportunities
While harder to estimate and peg to a specific dollar amount, there are other benefits to this approach. When you consider all of these areas and the business impacts that are associated, the savings can be enormous.
IT Gains
• Reduction in IT project portfolio.• Reduction in the number of technical objects that need to be
tested when SAP is upgraded.• Increase analytical capability for SAP support team.• Reduce time and system load on manual extract.• Over time eliminate your dependency on ETL solutions that in
many cases actually charge you based on the record counts.
Business Gains
• Increase agility.• Better decision making and execution
capability.• Get what you need, when you need it.• Reduce meetings at all levels including
executive that could have been better spent on topics that generate revenue.
• Run better.

Implementation – Getting data doesn’t have to be complicated
• Shortest implementation cycle in the industry• Our solution can be implemented in as little as a
day depending on your company’s release management practices.
• Smallest team required in the industry• We need a Project Champion, a DBA, a System
Admin, a SAP Basis Admin and a person who needs SAP data.
• Lowest hardware requirements in the industry• We need your SAP system, a File Server and a
Database. Hopefully you have open capacity that can be leveraged in these areas already.

Our Impact to Your Current Ecosystem
• Most companies have at least one reporting/data solution deployed.
• We are not proposing that you need to replace your current solutions to allow ours to work.
• We are stating that those solutions do not address all data requirements that companies face in a timely manner.
• When you understand the capability we provide and you see the cost that it can be delivered at, you may just look at some of the other tools a little bit differently.

cylinders like a well-oiled machine.
