Access SAP data with SAP certified connector .
Business – critical SAP ® applications hold a gold mine of powerful information waiting to be uncovered. But directly accessing SAP data is no trivial task.
Material expenses and revenues flow through SAP. In order to provide risk assurance for your executives, board, or oversight committee, you can’t rely on pre-built reports or built-in tests. You need the ability to access all of the data, at any time, to respond to changing risks and provide immediate answers to new questions.
Accessing SAP application data doesn’t need to be a painful process. Establish autonomy from your overburdened IT team with ACL™ Direct Link, an easy-to-use SAP-Certified data extraction add-on for ACL™ Analytics and ACL™ Analytics Exchange.
Gain direct, secure business intelligence from most SAP applications, including the latest SAP S/4HANA®. This not only reduces the workload for IT, but also empowers your team to easily include SAP data in analysis, leading to more complete coverage and better results. If you’re not measuring, you’re not managing.

Table and Field Name Translation
Avoid confusion.With thousands of tables in SAP applications with non-intuitive table and field names, knowing what data the tables represent and which ones are relevant for analysis is a mind-boggling task. Direct Link gives you the option of having field names translated to your own language or retain the original SAP German abbreviated field names.

Simple Re-Use
Re-use your data queries.After spending time finding the tables and fields required for your analysis, your query can be saved for use at a later time. Or use it as a starting point for your next analysis task that requires similar data. Or, automate your extractions by generating a single ACL command to re-use in your scripts.
Automated
Reduce, reuse, recycle.Routine data retrieval and data analysis procedures can be executed via ACL scripts, thus enabling re-use and repeatability for economies of scale and increased productivity.
