SAP HANA for ERP Financials (First Steps Book 3)

No matter if online transactions or evaluations are concerned, speed has been a key success factor since the invention of information technology. R/2 and R/3 were the first systems to process data in realtime. Increasing data volume is the main reason why nowadays, extensive reports still require background jobs to process the data.

With their latest database technology “High Performance Analytic Appliance” (HANA), SAP is trying no less than to revolutionize the database market by speeding up reports and transactions dramatically, changing business processes fundamentally.

This book will provide a compact and competent introduction to:
• Understanding the basics of SAP HANA
• Identify the potential of this technology
• Examine already existing HANA applications in SAP Financials

A decision was made in Walldorf – the new proprietary in-memory database SAP HANA is to be the future of SAP’s solution portfolio. Ulrich Schlueter is an expert directly from SAP Germany and will describe existing as well as future showcases in a structured, precise and easily understandable manner.
