Discover 3 Scenarios to start with the SAP HANA solution. With their latest database technology “High Performance Analytic Appliance” (HANA), SAP has revolutionized the database market by dramatically speeding up reports and transactions, fundamentally changing business processes. The solution, introduced for the first time in 2010, now serves as the foundation for applications running with higher performance – including SAP Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO).

Scenario1: SAP HANA as a
secondary database

4. 4
Example1: CO-PA
Accelerator
• The tables CE1xxxx, CE2xxxx and
CE4xxxx are transferred to SAP HANA
• Any required aggregation is performed on-
the-fly even on large datasets with 100
million line items
• The end-user perspective nothing is
changed !

SAP HANA live vs. SAP BW
• SAP HANA live displays exactly the data
available in SAP ERP
• No time stamps / no history
• Data transformation only when the query
is run
• Limitations regarding multiple sources

Scenario 3: SAP HANA as a
primary database
In this scenario, SAP HANA replaces
the current relational database for all
read and write processes. This is the
foundation when we talk about S/4
HANA.
• Recent innovations
• Planned innovations
• And future direction
of SAP is very much influenced by this
scenario.
