Are you currently using SAP NetWeaver ® Business Warehouse (BW)? Are you having trouble understanding the business value of moving to the SAP HANA ® platform? For organizations currently running SAP BW, the transition to HANA is not just about speed…it’s about insight, power and agility. Imagine that business needs a new report, and fast. But as soon as you deliver the results the requirements change. Frustrating? Yes! Reality? Absolutely! You need the ability to quickly scale and deliver solutions based on changing business requirements and data needs. But for those leveraging SAP BW, the adaptation process can be time consuming and complex taking weeks or months to deliver a solution. Running SAP BW without HANA requires extensive data movement and modeling in order to generate new analysis. It can be cumbersome when deep data exploration is needed. While BW enables report distribution, it doesn’t support a self-service model. Adding SAP HANA to BW not only unleashes the true strengths of Lumira, Design Studio, Web Intelligence and Explorer, but it eliminates BEx Queries for new development, increases query performance and promotes iterative prototyping with business users. What is the value of SAP BW on HANA? Enables Self-Service Reporting and Analytics Getting to granular data fast seems too good to be true, but with BW on HANA not only do you get drill-down capabilities, down to millions of rows of data, but you get results within seconds, not minutes or hours. Also SAP ® Business Objects™ running on HANA not only improves visualizations over BEx Analyzer, but it enables user explora- tion of data that dramatically improves participation. Simply put, end users get better performance, improved reporting and visualizations, and faster answers to unanticipated queries. Reduces development time by up to 50% Because business needs are dynamic and adjustments to data rules are constant, traditional systems such as BW require extra time to build, load, index and promote processes. Adding HANA to the mix means less data movement, faster iterations of business logic, fewer manual mappings and easier maintenance. DFT clients running BW on HANA reduced their development time by more than 50%. Simplifies the Modeling Process Modeling the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) layer is now easier with BW on HANA because fewer layers are involved. BW modeling tools have been adapted to the HANA environment, thereby reducing the number of layers and eliminating aggregates. Having the ability to pull data directly from DataStore Objects (DSO) or existing InfoCubes enables end user results quickly and easily. Increases the agility of your Enterprise Data Warehouse HANA supports an iterative, data-driven prototyping process that easily adapts to user’s needs before moving data into BW. This process dramatically improves user collaboration, identifies and fixes business logic issues early and validates data results quickly leading to a faster user accepted solution. When you are ready to move data to BW on HANA, you also gain agility by reducing the complexity of your data movement. Activating data loads into DSOs comprises 80% of your load time with traditional BW. HANA delivers in-memory activations of data loads cutting those times by 50% or more. This not only reduces data movement, but also reduces latency during model development. Reduces the complexity of your IT landscape In-memory enablement of DSOs means you get to skip new cube and related transforms of development. Even when integrating data from third party sources you can model it as SQL without having to develop an integrated dataflow. And, adding fields in a HANA relational schema is as simple as clicking a checkbox. This reduces IT workloads and helps you respond quickly to business requests.
