Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, our instance of SAP HANA is mainly for finance and plant maintenance.

Pros and Cons

Fast data access.
Calculation views - Combining data views and consolidating them. This is great for viewing lots of data at once.
Connectivity.

Releases were developed and released so rapidly that it made learning the platform difficult because early features were becoming obsolete as they were learned.

Return on Investment

The finance team was an early adopter SAP HANA - It helped the business use a 3rd party tool that needed rapid access to a huge amount of data.

Support Rating

I personally don't work directly with support. But from what I've gathered from the Basis team, they get a rapid response.
