# SRM Analytics

I believe analytics is very crucial for strategic sourcing (as well as operation). In my days of SCM (Purchasing) analytics helped to deal better with the suppliers.

SAP provides the BI (read BW) reporting capability with SRM solution. Spend Analytics (read- FI/AP integrated specnding), contract analytics and many more out-of-box reports to help the purchaser to make informed spending decision.
