One Predictive Planning & Smart Predict Blog to Find Them All!

[achab]

SAP Analytics Cloud Smart Predict has been released in 2018 and Predictive Planning in 2020.

In the last couple years, we had numerous blogs created in the SAP community.

I thought it was a good time to recap what we have available and group these blogs through meaningful categories to ease the life of our customers and partners.
