Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Earlier we were using Oracle 12c, but we were getting issues to handle real-time data and also continuous database hit. We moved to SAP HANA Cloud for in-memory computing and processing of queries. Now we are providing reporting through Tableau by connecting live with SAP HANA system. After migration from Oracle to SAP HANA, we achieved a high business growth, real-time KPIs and well-made data driven decisions.
