SAP Customers Data Challenge
“I can't get my SAP reports the way I want
them…as a result I'm always giving bad
information to my boss…and it takes
forever to get it.”
This is why Meister Core was
created

• Meister Core is an SAP certified ABAP extension that comprises of in-memory cross-compiler for JSON and ABAP,
transactional caching engine and API manager, invented and developed to address performance issues,
associated with the traditional way that many transactional and data mining processes at SAP are executed to-
date.
• The idea behind using a compiler inside-in and inside-out is all about performance. Given the internal complexity of
inter calls with RFC enabled function modules, themselves unable to pass non-DDIC objects, it removes the loss of
performance from passing values of lengthy tables across discrete parallelization steps.
• Meister Core caches, manages and delivers any data type of volume and complexity: master data, transactional
data, meta data and any form of other complex data generated from complex table-of-tables, calculated and
ML/predicted data structures. Transactional Caching technology is meant for immediate consumption rather than
bulk storage.

SAP Denodo Customers
See the difference in performance when loading a Power BI reporting on Materials, and
their related POs and Purchase Quantities…
Here’s a sampling of other data retrieval scenarios and benefits where Meister Core could help:
∙ Ability to provide more accurate inventory/purchase management interfaces with other systems
∙ Procurement, Warehouse Management, and Sales can Quickly see true accurate purchase orders, and how they
replenish inventory, thus reducing inventory overhead, traditionally needed as a safety buffer to reduce inventory
offset risks
∙ More powerful forecasting analytics reporting/dashboards can be developed to improve supply chain efficiencies.
Many other benefits are possible beyond the Meister Core Purchasing Demo use case –
EG: Sales, Industry specifics, like IOT, Production Management, Meter Reads, SCADA, etc.

Reduce complexity for consuming / combining SAP Data with other disparate sources – no limits on column widths. (SAP Connector limits: 512
characters per row) Example: SAP Connector requires development of 5 views and a join view to retrieve SAP Purchasing Header data, where
Meister Core only requires only 1 view.
Built-in Payload Data Compression - Improve performance. Besides returning data 2 to 5 times faster, significant savings can be obtained on
cloud transmissions fees – up to or exceeding 90% Cloud Transmission fee savings.
Instant Cache Updates – No latencies, waiting overnight, for data refresh because data can ALWAYS be fresh using Meister’s Trigger-Based Caching
features. In a real-world scenario, this could eliminate the need for a customer to hold a 10% buffer of inventory, typically used to account for
“Inventory Buffering”. Supply chain is much more agile, removing sometimes days of delays, from raw material supplies to finished goods
deliveries. Larger companies could see $1 million+ in savings just inventory optimizations alone.
