Unlocking Smarter Workforce Planning with SAP Analytics Cloud, BDC, and Databricks

Unlocking Smarter Workforce Planning with SAP Analytics Cloud, BDC, and Databricks

April 16, 2026



Workforce planning is becoming increasingly complex.

Balancing supply and demand, modeling constraints, and evaluating multiple scenarios often requires significant manual effort — with many teams still relying heavily on spreadsheets to fill the gaps.

While SAP Analytics Cloud provides powerful planning capabilities, some workforce planning scenarios require more advanced optimization and flexibility than standard tools alone can offer.

In this session, we’ll demonstrate how organizations are extending their planning capabilities to support more advanced workforce scenarios — without adding complexity for business users.

Through a real-world example, you’ll see how optimization algorithms can automatically generate constrained workforce scenarios in minutes, reducing manual what-if analysis and enabling faster, more confident decision-making.

We’ll also show how SAP Business Data Cloud and Databricks enable seamless, bi-directional data integration — allowing you to leverage existing data investments without duplication or rework.

  • How planners can run advanced simulations without technical or data science expertise
