Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA

SAP HANA is used as core ERP solution. It was implemented as green field deployment covering Manufacturing, Procurement, Sales, Operations, Finance and Planning. Main challenge for that project was improvement in handling and planning of components, control of availability of components and management of production process with focus on proper reporting of steps. Another challenge was visibility of forecast and proper distribution of FG in DC network as per market segments demands.

Pros

  • Data Visibility
  • Demand - Supply relation handling
  • Interface

Cons

  • TMS integration
  • ATP hourly demand control
  • FIFO stock valuation
  • ROI
  • Ease of implementation
  • Ready solution
it is hard to say how much in memory analytics or simply KPI based apps are helping - but HANA by default is bringing summary lines and KPI's as starting point for any active apps handling. This is supposed to be driver for users however we see that most users are repeating a sequence of daily steps regardless of visible checkpoints.
There is no documented changes to classic SAP process that HANA is bringing.
Hana is certainly a newer product in terms of technology and UX is one of the key factors to take advantage of. However, Oracle offers more functions as this solution is longer on market.
There are many SAP resources - not many things HANA way!

Do you think SAP HANA Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with SAP HANA Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did SAP HANA Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SAP HANA Cloud go as expected?

No

Would you buy SAP HANA Cloud again?

Yes

SAP HANA suits best for a typical manufacturing environment where integration of Manufacturing sites must follow individual demands of customer. In MTS scenarios - HANA will be as good as complete IBP implementation will provide support for deployment strategies ... basic MRP tools seem to be a little outdated. SAP is not managing well hourly schedules - so managing hourly demand traceability requires some extra enhancement and steps.
