What SAP HANA can do

Hana is not a data warehouse, but a platform on which users can build data warehouses or fairs, reports, dashboards, and more. What Hana can do, first as a memory database, provides data insertion, modification, and efficient query functionality. Second, as a platform, on top of Hana, the Bo Reporting system provides a better user experience – almost no need for users to wait for data to be returned. Users can use Hana's modeling tools to access ECC or other data sources directly, bypassing bw. But you can also build bw on top of Hana to deliver BW performance issues to Hana. With SAP HANA, organizations can analyze business operations based on massive, real-time details during business operations. Enterprises can explore and analyze all the transaction data and analysis data from all data sources. Operational data is captured by memory when it is generated, and the analysis information is quickly presented to the user through a flexible view. External data can be easily added to the analytics model to consolidate data across the enterprise with direct access to operational data through SAP HANA without compromising the performance of SAP ERP and other operational systems. Enterprises can synchronize major transactions to memory in near real time so that they can be easily accessed during analysis or lookups. Once data is accessible through memory, departments can find individual line items from a large list of subscription documents, leads, service requirements, and so on, without any impact on the operating system. This efficient modeling process supports direct access models for detail line items and analytic models that support more complex analysis processes. SAP HANA delivers efficient workflows from concept to analysis. The workflow covers the entire process, starting with identifying relevant operational data (transforming the raw data into relevant information), to generating chapeau-defined groupings in the model, and finally publishing the completed model. The main difference between SAP HANA and traditional analytic models is that it rejects anything that is materialistic-that is, all models are completely virtual and are based on basic operational data calculations. In this way, the model can be easily modified. SAP HANA can access any data. Any data source can be used as the data Foundation for SAP HANA when businesses need operational data from non-SAP applications, or if they want to scale out on an existing analytics model. With the SAP BusinessObjects Data Services component, non-SAP operational data can be loaded into SAP HANA memory, allowing organizations to create a complete view of a specific business scenario through an extremely streamlined process. SAP HANA adds easy-to-use modeling experience to further improve the autonomy of business users. The view follows semantic rules and transforms the original operational data into understandable information, whereby business users can create new analytic models autonomously in a Web-based modeling environment. Business intelligence from SAP BusinessObjectsAnalytics tools can use SAP HANA in-memory data directly, enabling business users to take full advantage of the insight and analytics capabilities of all their high-performance applications. However, if users want to use Excel or other tools and applications for data analysis, they can connect to SAP HANA through standard interfaces such as MDX and SQL. SAP HANA provides standard interfaces for existing applications, operational systems, or other business applications. This means that SAP HANA does not disrupt existing system architectures by connecting to existing data sources and makes it easy to leverage existing BI clients. As a complete, real-time analytics solution, SAP HANA can help businesses get the benefits as quickly as possible.
