We are using SAP HANA to access the information faster than before. Also, it is being used by our BI department to get history data and build reports/charts in WebFOCUS reporting tool. It is being used by the whole organization. It is offering some insights into hidden information that we would not have obtained before.

We have faced the transition for the change to the new ERP and all the structures that support the analytical architecture is based on this tool. It therefore acts as a power base for all DWH, Cloud and DB. The versatility and performance it offers are undoubtedly adequate, the limit we have identified is linked to the lack of connectivity with non-SAP systems.

We implemented SAP HANA during our SOH (Suite on HANA) migration. SAP HANA replaced Oracle as our backend DB for SAP ERP. Not only for ERP, for SCM and BW also my organization uses SAP HANA as backend DB.

Since all ERP data is being stored in HANA DB and all other different business applications are integrated with SAP HANA, the features, functionalities, and benefits of SAP HANA not only used and impacted the IT department but also across the whole organization.

The in-memory technology helped business processes to be executed much faster than it was before. In my organization MRP process before HANA, it took 7200 sec and after HANA it takes only 1200 sec. Similarly, process time has been minimized for many business functions like stock reports, invoice processing, Sales order creation, Material availability checking for process order, and many more. Significant improvement has been observed in SCM and BW processes. Not only in business process time, HANA has also helped to simplified the connectivity and integration method with other DBs and applications. Due to its compression capabilities, HANA has also reduced the DB sizes which helped the organization save cost hardware cost.

SAP HANA is the heart of my department in my organisation. We have well qualified and trained professionals with hands on experience in SAP HANA. My organisation does conduct training sessions in each quarter with some latest updates which includes support package, advanced features, performance & operational point of views. Most of our customers are already using SAP HANA and we are supporting & enhancing their needs. We have migrated many customers from classic ERP to SAP HANA. We are using SAP HANA across the organisation in most of the departments. SAP HANA addresses most of the complex data models with better performance & analytical capabilities. Also it supports most of the data visualisation tools & also supports complex calculation in databases level.

SAP HANA is being used by 2 departments at my organization. Specifically, payroll and E-Learning. It increases the transparency for decision makers and as an analyst, it is easy to understand for me to simplify the setup of views and administration. Authorization is one of the business problems SAP HANA addresses.

SAP HANA is being used in our organization. Current version is HANA 2.0 sp4. More than 2,000 users are using it. It is being used across the whole organization. Due to its OLAP and OLTP, data access is much faster than other databases. All data is sitting on RAM and not using cache memory like traditional database. So it is being accepted by business users more extensively than traditional Oracle, DB2, SQL server.

SAP provide the major control over transactions in terms of modification/cancellation of any transaction. The authorization for more than 1 persons is required, so it is not easy to manipulate the thing. Along with that SAP is very user friendly. Some more improvement would help, like readymade balance sheets and profit and loss extractions.

Primary database for SAP ERP (ECC) systems and also extensively used for for business intelligence purposes. BI reports on ECC (RTR, PTM) are developed using SAP HANA platform. SAP HANA is also used for one client as data processing (normalized database) tool using modeling features and then to process it to SAP RAR system.

SAP HANA is used by my organisation globally, it is one of the best in-memory databases which helps get the analytics processed and loaded at real time. It is highly advisable for all the industry sectors who want to move on to a digital transformation of their industry. HANA is a very robust database, its feature of multitenancy lets you scale it as much as we want and with new features of NSE, it reduces the cost and brings up more storage and performance. We can run anything on HANA be it a finance analysis, statistical records or a data warehouse. The best-run companies in the world run on SAP HANA.

SAP HANA is being used across the whole organization for payrolls, employee leave managment, engineering/operation activities such as MOC/PSSR, creating purchase orders, sales orders and process orders. The production planning department used SAP HANA for preparing end month production and consumption reports which were the inputs for the accounting department who used it for financial analysis.

SAP HANA not only promises great and fast speed but it also offers long pending innovation of SAP. HANA helped us in re-engineering of many processes in logistics, supply chain and finance areas.
New HANA GUI offered pleasant experience to end users with the help of simple navigation and quick response.
New architecture of SAP data base and table structure is easy to understand and contributes towards simplification, automation and digitalisation.

We are currenty reviewing SAP HANA Cloud as a solution to advise our customers in their journey to migrate their environments to the cloud. To be able to do this we're conducting a deep dive into the SAP HANA Cloud offering, so that we know what the benefits are in comparison to other HANA cloud and on-premise offerings.

It is being used across the whole organization. I am using it to control the stock of railway materials, for example, to request purchases and transfers, analyze movements and stocks, validate material entries, among other activities. Thanks to SAP HANA, we were able to better control the stock in all the warehouses because of the data provided in HANA. For example, it automatically analyzes when we have to make requests thanks to these statistics. We have better management of the history and traceability of materials, and we can also access all associated documents.

SAP HANA solves our performance issues coupled with S/4HANA. It is used in our whole organization (70000 people in 50 countries). All business transactions are actually using SAP HANA, at least for most of our countries.

We also use a secondary SAP HAHA Database to consolidate data and use it for our business intelligence reports.

SAP HANA had an extended evaluation to become our new relational database to replaced Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise. Our group reviewed it for two possible use cases. The first which was a step one in our evolution, was to use the A4A option where we migrate all of the data to HANA and use Sybase ASE as a front-end for HANA so that we don't have to recode our suite of applications. ASE would use the A4A feature (Accelerator for ASE) where ASE would push down all queries to HANA to be serviced. This would allow us to get the speed of HANA without the expense of retooling our applications to talk directly to HANA. Then step two was to identify which applications would survive long-term and migrate those to native HANA. We were interested in HANA because of the in-memory performance. During our testing we saw query speed improvements of 10,000X. Not 10,000 percent but 10,000 times faster in HANA than in ASE.

SAP HANA is a premium ERP solution that is used across many verticals. It helps us to improve performance and save space to create efficiency in processing information. HANA databases are used across all verticals creating better effectiveness in storage and data transfer. It helps us to do real-time analysis of data to make quick and precise decisions over different facets of verticals. The recent version has improved performance and good speed of reporting with data fetching, calculation, and processing. Graphical UI has also improved with new calculation views, CDS views, and AMDP classes. It is highly scalable when it comes to managing big data while maintaining speed, accessibility, and efficiency. The new architecture saves and organizes data in columns and in-memory, which eliminates slow speed and use of excess memory. Overall, SAP HANA is a great solution across all verticals.

SAP HANA is the foundation of the intelligent revolution at SAP. At our organization, it is being used everywhere we use SAP. Solution Manager is on HANA, ERP is on HANA, cloud applications are on HANA as well. We interact with it on a daily basis. HANA's in-memory data platform is a true next-generation foundation.
