SAP HANA
 SAP HANA is an in-memory data platform that is
deployable as an on-premise appliance, or in the
cloud. It is a revolutionary platform thats best
suited for performing real-time analytics, and
developing and deploying real-time applications. At
the core of this real-time data platform is the SAP
HANA database which is fundamentally different
than any other database engine in the market today

SAP HANA
 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).

SAP HANA
 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.

SAP HANA
 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.

SAP HANA
 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 customers 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.

SAP HANA
 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.

SAP HANA
 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.

SAP S4 HANA
 SAP Business Suite 4 HANA - S/4HANA is an
ERP innovation based on a new and radically
simplified data model design concept which is only
possible with an in-memory database like SAP
HANA.

14 Contents developed by Nitin G.


SAP S4 HANA
 Based on the new data model, S/4HANA replaces
successively the old code line with a new code line which is
unconstrained from the confinements of the traditional
databases and which allows SAP, partner and customer
developers to maximize the benefits of the modern in
memory database technology to the fullest extent.
 Modern in-memory technology as in SAP HANA we define
as in-memory first processing instead of replicating a subset
of data from disc to memory.

 The first innovation delivered with S/4HANA is sFiN,


available for cloud and on premise editions. Next lining up is a
new project services module, currently only available in the
cloud edition,
 S/4HANA release 1511 (2015 - November) is the latest
release for the on premise edition delivering innovations in
additional Business Process areas.

15 Contents developed by Nitin G.


SAP S4 HANA
 SAP is leading the S/4HANA innovation with the
S/4HANA cloud edition, releasing 4 upgrades every
year, which are available as a bundle once a year for
on premise customers. This years sFiN release was
an exception, as this release was available on
premise and in the cloud at the same time.
 sFin is mandatory for all additional, future
innovations, as S/4HANA is a fully integrated
system.
