And here are the good news: IBCS goes mainstream

The first good news is that SAP Analytics Cloud is now IBCS/Hichert certified.

For those interested in applying visualization standards in their reports SAP offers now within their Analytics Cloud IBCS compliant charts.

It is no longer necessary to use third party tools within your SAP environment in order to produce highly sophisticated reports and dashboards.
