SAP HANA is well suited for developing data models that can be connected to data virtualization tools; the views can further be used for creating dashboards in Tableau or for creating reports in SAP Web Intelligence. SLT data replication is real time from ECC to HANA Sidecar, therefore it supports real-time data.
