Overview
Building on its HANA-powered SAP landscape, Alameda Group partnered with DigiMed to implement SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) dashboards for finance and operations — replacing manual, spreadsheet-driven management reporting with live, interactive analytics across the group's hospitals.

The Challenge

Management reporting had not kept pace with the modernized core systems:
  • Manual consolidation: Finance teams assembled monthly packs by exporting from SAP into spreadsheets, consuming days of effort each cycle.
  • Delayed insight: Leadership reviewed performance weeks in arrears, limiting the ability to act on emerging issues.
  • Inconsistent versions: Different teams produced different numbers for the same KPI, eroding trust in reports.
  • No self-service: Every new analysis required a request to IT or finance, creating a reporting backlog.

The Solution
DigiMed implemented a curated suite of SAC dashboards connected live to the group's SAP data:

  • Finance dashboards:
    Revenue, expense distribution, gross and net profit, monthly trends, cash flow, budget vs. actual and key financial ratios — with drill-down by facility and period.
  • Operations & revenue cycle dashboards:
    Patient volumes, collections, accounts receivable ageing and denial monitoring against organizational benchmarks.
  • Live connectivity:
    Dashboards read from the HANA-based BW in real time — no data re-keying, no overnight extracts.
  • Governed self-service:
    A single KPI catalogue with defined owners ensures everyone works from the same numbers, while power users build their own stories on governed models.


Benefits Achieved


  • One source of truth:
    Leadership, finance and hospital directors now work from the same live figures across all group facilities.
  • Effort released:
    Manual reporting effort reduced considerably, freeing finance capacity for analysis rather than assembly.
  • Faster action:
    Daily-refreshed revenue cycle KPIs let managers act on issues much earlier than before.
  • Adoption:
    Interactive dashboards replaced static packs in the group's monthly performance reviews.
Conclusion
With SAC live for finance and operations, Alameda Group has moved from rear-view reporting to real-time performance management — a decisive step in the group's data-driven healthcare journey.
