Prepare for implementationLandscape Preparation Service for SAP HANA When the decision path presents uncertainty, HP offers Landscape Preparation Services for SAP HANA. It delivers accelerated time to value by exploring and defining a frictionless execution path for implementation into your existing IT landscape before SAP HANA is installed. The focus is on preparing the current environment—including upgrades, patching, and installation of software components—to attach to SAP HANA based on version dependencies supplied by SAP. HP consultants bring expertise and BI know-how to design and implement changes required in the current environment to ensure a smooth execution path for SAP HANA implementation.

Solution Assessment for SAP HANA This service is a four-week engagement. During it, HP consultants assess your existing information landscape in detail, identifying

data sets for use in the HANA solution, spotting any gaps in the current environment, and creating a solution blueprint based on findings. This blueprint provides a high-level solution outline that meets business and technology requirements, including a satellite view of the proposed solution architecture. This service also delivers a solution roadmap outlining what is required to move from current state to in-memory state delivered through SAP HANA.
