What do we mean by SAP HANA?

SAP HANA is

Acronym for "High-Performance Analytic Appliance“

An in-memory data platform designed for – performing real-time analytics– developing and deploying real-time applications

Different to other commercially available databases, SAP HANA is good at both– Transactional workloads and Analytical workloads

A platform which brings processes and analytics closer together, enabling clients to use real-time data and analytics, in order to make faster decisions and outperform the competition

IBM HANA Assessment Tool – Are you Ready for S4/HANA?

SAP S/4HANA Assessment Objectives

The IBM HANA Assessment Tool helps SAP customers understand the impact of moving their current SAP

Landscape to S/4HANA.

Easy to run, IBM can quickly identify the impact and effort associated to the move to SAP S/4HANA.

How disruptive will the move to S/4 HANA be for your organization?

The effort required to move to

SAP S/4HANA depends on

the functionalities used within

your SAP landscape. IBM’s

impact assessment will help

identify the effort required

prior to starting the

project.

The move to SAP S/4HANA

can be invasive and

disruptive. It is important to

understand what the impact to

your custom code and

business processes are prior

to making the move to SAP

S/4HANA

The journey to SAP S/4

HANA can be

challenging. IBM’s

impact assessment will

help you prepare and

initiate some of the

activities up front prior

to starting your

transformation project.

Assessment Timelines

The assessment timelines are split across three phases.

S/4 HANA Finance considerations (client experiences)

Greenfield implementation -> there is no burden from old SAP setup. On the other hand everything must

be designed from scratch if no best practise available or best practise can not be utilized.

From user point of view there is not much difference to ECC with New GL – user interface looks the

same. Fiori is of course something new and client is waiting for that (very much).

No ABAP report development in Finance – everything in this respect pushed to BW.

HANA makes the system very fast – even via Citrix...

Speed of HANA implementation compared to traditional ECC project: There is not much difference. In this

project much of time was used to finetune processes and map them against SAP applications. Once that

had been done implementation is like with traditional SAP.

Setting up all environments can be time consuming – especially when infrastructure is managed by

different vendors.

SAP BW on HANA

BW on HANA considerations (client experiences)

If running BW < v. 3.5 = Upgrade to BW v.7.5 on HANA (cloud). Do LSA++ (NB. This is a big tech. change).

If running BW v. 7.x => want to use Big data => Consider BW/4HANA (cloud) and/or IBM Watson (Cognitive).

Going HANA -> Make sure to run the ABAP code analyzer.

Some HW issues with HANA.

From user point of view - If you use BWA (BW Accelerator) the benefits are lower.

Native HANA will increase over time due to use of Hot- (Native HANA), Warm- (aDSO) and Cold- (NLS) data.

Plan 12 weeks for BW upgrade and HANA migration.

SAP BW/4HANA is SAP’s strategy for Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW)

SAP Applications may be function-rich software and a means to

innovate—but they are not without their drawbacks

Requires a scalable

infrastructure

SAP solutions require an

infrastructure that can grow to

meet demands.

Runs core business processes

SAP workloads are often

business critical and must be

resilient.

Requires specialized skills

SAP solutions require

specialized skills to manage

a variety of different

products.

Can be costly to maintain

Clients may dedicate

a large portion of their budget to

running SAP solutions.

Can be complex

SAP landscapes can be complex

because of the amount of products,

resources and skills needed.

Needs a high-performing

infrastructure

SAP systems are typically highly

transactional systems that require a

high-performing infrastructure.
