The Platform for Next-Generation Applications and Analytics
SAP HANA converges database and application platform capabilities in-memory to transform transactions, analytics, text analysis, predictive and spatial processing so businesses can operate in real-time.
How SAP HANA Enables Business of the Future
SAP HANA is the engine on which completely new applications can be based, able to crunch the growing masses of data that companies and institutions need to obtain real-time insight into their operations and stakeholders. In the book, The In-Memory Revolution, co-authored by Hasso Plattner and Bernd Leukert, you will read examples on both the business benefits and the technology of SAP HANA, addressing readers from both business and technological backgrounds.
SAP HANA technology changing the game?
Critical Technology Driving Business
By eliminating the divide between transactions and analytics, SAP HANA allows you to answer any business question anywhere in real time.
When you place predictive analytics, spatial processing and data virtualization on the same architecture, innovating with your big data is simplified and accelerated.SAP HANA drives performance, expedites processes and truly revolutionizes business.
SAP HANA for Developers
SAP HANA gives developers the opportunity to quickly build impactful, highly-scalable applications that leverage the massive speed and scale of the SAP HANA platform.
SAP HANA In-Memory Platform
Make real-time business a reality with SAP HANA, our in-memory database and application platform. Designed to simplify your IT environment, our powerful platform releases the intelligence in your business data and processes – so that you can accelerate critical decisions and innovate throughout your operations.
Analytics and Applications
A.Real-time analytics – The Categories of Analytics which HANA specializes
Operational Reporting (real-time insights from transaction systems such as custom or SAP ERP). This covers Sales Reporting (improving fulfillment rates and accelerating key sales processes), Financial Reporting (immediate insights across revenue, customers, accounts payable, etc.), Shipping Reporting (better enabling complete stock overview analysis), Purchasing Reporting (complete real-time analysis of complete order history) and Master Data Reporting (real-time ability to impact productivity and accuracy).
Data Warehousing (SAP NetWeaver BW on HANA) – BW customers can run their entire BW application on the SAP HANA platform leading to unprecedented BW performance (queries run 10-100 times faster; data loads 5-10 times faster; calculations run 5-10 times faster), a dramatically simplified IT landscape (leads to greater operational efficiency and reduced waste), and a business community able to make faster decisions. Moreover, not only is the BW investment of these customers preserved but also super-charged. Customers can migrate with ease to the SAP HANA database without impacting the BW application layer at all.
Predictive and Text analysis on Big Data - To succeed, companies must go beyond focusing on delivering the best product or service and uncover customer/employee /vendor/partner trends and insights, anticipate behavior and take proactive action. SAP HANA provides the ability to perform predictive and text analysis on large volumes of data in real-time. It does this through the power of its in-database predictive algorithms and its R integration capability. With its text search/analysis capabilities SAP HANA also provides a robust way to leverage unstructured data.
B.Real-time applications – The Categories of Applications which HANA specializes
Core process accelerators – Accelerate business reporting by leveraging ERP Accelerators, which are non-disruptive ways to take advantage of in-memory technology. These solutions involve an SAP HANA database sitting next to a customer’s SAP ERP system. Transactional data is replicated in real-time from ECC into HANA for immediate reporting, and then results can even be fed back into ECC. Solutions include CO-PA Accelerator, Finance and Controlling Accelerator, Customer Segmentation Accelerator, Sales Pipeline Analysis, and more.
Planning, Optimization Apps – SAP HANA excels at applications that require complex scheduling with fast results, and SAP is delivering solutions that no other vendor can match. These include Sales & Operational Planning, BusinessObjects Planning & Consolidation, Cash Forecasting, ATP calculation, Margin calculation, Manufacturing scheduling optimization (from start-up Optessa), and more.
Sense & response apps – These applications offer real-time insights on Big Data such as smart meter data, point-of-sale data, social media data, and more. They involve complexities such as personalized insight and recommendations, text search and mining, and predictive analytics. Only SAP HANA is well suited for such applications, including Smart Meter Analytics, SAP Supplier InfoNet, SAP precision retailing, and Geo-spatial Visualization apps (from start-up Space-Time Insight). Typically these processes tend to be data-intensive and many could not be deployed in the past owing to cost and performance constraints.
