Overview
Angles for SAP (formerly Angles Enterprise for SAP, sold by insightsoftware) is a self-service reporting and analytics layer built specifically for SAP ECC and S/4HANA data. It ships with more than 600 pre-built calculations and report templates covering supply chain and finance processes, aimed at letting business users in procurement, manufacturing, and finance answer their own questions in SAP data without writing ABAP queries or filing IT tickets.
The product connects directly to SAP ECC or S/4HANA and is pre-configured to understand standard SAP table relationships as well as customer-created Z-tables and Z-fields, which insightsoftware positions as a way to expose custom SAP configurations in plain business language. It also runs automated data validation checks across SAP tables to surface data-quality issues -- a use case insightsoftware markets heavily around S/4HANA migration readiness, where dirty legacy ECC data is flagged and tracked before and during a cutover.
insightsoftware positions Angles for SAP as complementary to SAP's own BI stack (SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Datasphere) rather than a replacement, and emphasizes that it requires no custom ABAP development or SAP BTP extensions, keeping the SAP system on a "clean core" as SAP recommends for S/4HANA. It is one of several SAP-focused products insightsoftware sells alongside Wands for SAP (Excel-based SAP reporting) and Process Runner (SAP transaction automation).
