Course Overview

The SACS31 : SAP Analytics Cloud: Advanced Story Design course by SAP is designed for professionals aiming to master advanced storytelling capabilities within the SAP Analytics Cloud platform. This training targets business analysts, SAP BusinessObjects consultants, and BW/HANA consultants who are responsible for creating interactive, high-performance analytical stories. While not a direct delta course from the former SACAD1, SACS31 prepares learners for the C_SACS_2316 certification exam—SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP Analytics Cloud Story Design. With over 14,000 enterprises globally adopting SAP Analytics Cloud for unified planning and analytics, demand for certified story designers has surged, making this skillset critical for data-driven decision-making across finance, sales, and operations.

Participants engage with core SAP technologies including SAP Analytics Cloud’s Optimized Story Experience, Advanced Mode scripting, Analytics Designer, and integration with SAP BW/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA data sources. The hands-on lab environment leverages the SAP Analytics Cloud web interface, where students build dynamic, responsive stories using JavaScript-based scripting, OData calls, and PostMessage APIs. A key project involves designing an extended story that incorporates R-visualizations, custom widgets, and mobile-optimized layouts, while applying performance tuning techniques such as efficient data loading and script optimization. Learners also implement real-world use cases like automated PDF exports, scheduled story distributions, and cross-story navigation to simulate enterprise reporting workflows.

This course directly prepares candidates for the globally recognized C_SACS_2316 certification, which validates expertise in creating secure, interactive, and scalable analytics stories. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 20-25%, with senior story designers earning up to $110,000 annually in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official SAP courseware, and 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring mastery of advanced scripting and extensibility features. Upon completion, learners are equipped to lead analytics transformation initiatives, design enterprise-grade dashboards, and advance into roles such as Senior BI Developer or Analytics Solution Architect within SAP-centric organizations.
