The document discusses the impact of in-memory technology, specifically SAP HANA, on businesses, IT, and careers. It notes that SAP HANA is becoming a major part of SAP solutions and is reshaping how businesses and IT use SAP. It also impacts the skills required for different roles. The document provides examples of how SAP HANA enables faster analysis and real-time decision making compared to traditional databases. Finally, it outlines how various roles from business to development will need new skills to work with SAP HANA and in-memory solutions.
HANA the “Hot cake” of the market. I have been hearing about HANA since the beginning of this decade or even earlier. Initially I thought it was just a new database, so why the fuss? My crooked mind used to say: may be SAP does not want to share the market revenue with any other database provider (competitors); therefore they came up with their own database. Pat SAP for Smart Business Acumen. :)
Later I had a notion that HANA is only for BI/BW folks, so being an ABAPer – why should I care? Everyone used to talk about analysis and modelling. So, I used to think, let the BI/BW modelers worry about HANA.
Then the rumour started in market; ABAP and ABAPer are going to be extinct in near future. I used to wonder, if ABAPer are going to die, then who in this whole universe would support those tons and tons of ABAP code written in the history of SAP Implementations? What will happen to all those time, effort and money spent in those large and small scales SAP Implementations? What a waste of rumour!!

The material was created around 2010-end, but published February'2011.
The main purposes of creating this document were as follows:
- very very few people working on SAP HANA at that time
- information regarding SAP HANA not really available and if available, it was scattered !!
- always pulled for presentations and technical demos which generally hampered my own hands-on work :). And I was alone at San Jose whereas Ulrich used to busy in Walldorf coordinating with SAP.
BTW, it was my full-fledged first SAP HANA presentation in end of 2010, although published in 2011. The document is quite old now but most of the part still holds good as of today.
So what is SAP HANA? How can it help my area (Line of Business) and our business overall!. Presentation lays out BASICS and how can help users enable their area/business "Real time".

Big Data, Simple and Fast: Addressing the Shortcomings of HadoopHazelcast
In this webinar
This talk identifies several shortcomings of Apache Hadoop and presents an alternative approach for building simple and flexible Big Data software stacks quickly, based on next generation computing paradigms, such as in-memory data/compute grids. The focus of the talk is on software architectures, but several code examples using Hazelcast will be provided to illustrate the concepts discussed.
We’ll cover these topics:
-Briefly explain why Hadoop is not a universal, or inexpensive, Big Data solution – despite the hype
-Lay out technical requirements for a flexible Big/Fast Data processing stack
-Present solutions thought to be alternatives to Hadoop
-Argue why In-Memory Data/Compute Grids are so attractive in creating future-proof Big/Fast Data applications
-Discuss how well Hazelcast meets the Big/Fast Data requirements vs Hadoop
-Present several code examples using Java and Hazelcast to illustrate concepts discussed
-Live Q&A Session

Explores the notion of "Hadoop as a Data Refinery" within an organisation, be it one with an existing Business Intelligence system or none - looks at 'agile data' as a a benefit of using Hadoop as the store for historical, unstructured and very-large-scale datasets.
The final slides look at the challenge of an organisation becoming "data driven"
Hadoop as Data Refinery - Steve LoughranJAX London
Apache Hadoop is often described as a "Big Data Platform" but what does that mean? One way to better understand Hadoop is to talk about how Hadoop is used. This talk discusses using Hadoop as a "Data Refinery", which is a common use case. The concept is very much like a traditional oil refinery except with data, pulling in large quantities of "crude data" over pipelines, refining some into useful business intelligence; refining other pieces into slightly less crude data that stays in the cluster until needed later. This metaphor proves useful when considering how Hadoop could be adopted in an organisation that already has data warehousing and business intelligence systems -and when contemplating how to hook up a Hadoop cluster to the sources of data inside and outside that organisation. A key point to remember is that storing data in Hadoop is not a means to an end any more than storing data in a database is: it is extracting information from that data. Using Hadoop as a front end "data refinery" means that it can integrate with existing Business Intelligence systems, while providing the platform for new applications.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

In-memory technology
Pretty wide term to describe everything that enables
highly efficient storage and high performing processing
of (sometimes substantial) data volumes
Being used in multiple product from multiple vendors
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
8. [ Major principles of SAP in-memory technology
Keep all required data (aka “hot data”) in main memory
Compress data to minimize the footprint
Utilize column storage
Disk I/O is no longer an optimization target
No need for pre-aggregated stores and multiple DB indexes
Rarely accessed data (aka cold data) can be moved to cheap storage
Cache sensitive data layout and cache-aware algorithms
High locality (data that is needed together is stored together)
Late materialization (decompress in cache)
Software performance growth is in parallel processing, not clock speed
Move data-intensive operations to the data layer
Requires application logic in data layer (example: currency conversion)

12. [ Impact of SAP HANA on our careers
Business will need to bring back the meaning of "Business
Process Re-engineering" and learn how to provide break-
through requirements going beyond "Product groups in rows,
Y/Y KPIs in columns"
Business Process Consultants (like EPM) will need to learn
how to implement and configure whole new set of applications
designed for in-memory computing
BI Designers will need to build all the analytic views in SAP
HANA DB and integrate them with new SAP BO Information
Designer Tool
Developers will need to start familiarizing themselves with
writing in-memory optimized code using new SQLScript
language, and few of them may even need to learn "L" –
new SAP procedural language for SAP HANA programming
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
13. [ Impact of SAP HANA on our careers (cont.)
Security will need to design authentication and authorization
around SAP HANA, depending on the discussed scenario
Admins and DBAs will not only get new toy to play, but
as well whole new bunch of capabilities and tools to learn
BW folks will get the whole new set of RAM-optimized
BW objects to use in their modeling after migration
of BW database to SAP HANA
OS/DB migration consultants will get their hands dirty
in migrations of existing analytic solutions (like based
on SAP/BW) from existing DBMSs to SAP HANA DB
Project Managers will need to keep an eye on the evolution
of ASAP Methodology and any in-memory projects related
Add-ons to it
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
14. [ Key Learnings
It’s time to learn about SAP in-memory technology –
an unavoidable trend for all SAP customers –
and start assessing its impact on your business and IT
Get the holistic picture – learn to distinguish three overlapping
but different layers – technology, platforms, and applications –
and chart the roadmap for each of them in your planning
Think early about how to do proper landscape planning
satisfying all requirements to realize the ultimate promise
of the HANA platform capable of simultaneous handling
both OLTP and OLAP processing
