SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.1, version for SAP NetWeaver, provides a unified planning suite to address a wide range of business issues. Now fully supported by the SAP BW on HANA platform, BPC 10.1 provides deeper integration with SAP NetWeaver and can leverage the platform's Integrated Planning (IP) and Planning Applications Kit (PAK) framework. The introduction of SAP Cloud for Planning builds upon this by offering the ability to roll out a public cloud planning application to strategic business units that can plug into the central BPC Plan.
