SAP BW/4HANA…• is a new data warehouse solution
• is highly optimized for SAP HANA
• solves analytics problems in seconds that take other systems days
• accelerates solution development
• means you have one version of the truth
• is ready for the internet of things at petabyte scale
The transition from standard SAP BW to SAP BW/4HANA can be compared with the transition of the SAP Business Suite to SAP S/4HANA. As part of this transition, SAP BW/4HANA will drastically reduce the number of data objects to be stored and maintained, similar to the elimination of aggregates in SAP S/4HANA.

Natively integrate the embedded analytics models and data in
SAP S/4HANA with those of SAP BW/4HANA, e.g. to compare real-time
actuals with historical snapshots, planning results (from BPC), or external
data.
Both solutions complement each other and can be fully integrated

In-Place Conversion
SAP BW/4HANA Starter Add-On
SAP BW/4HANA Starter Add-on (f.k.a. “SAP BW, edition for SAP HANA”) is prerequisite for In-Place
Conversions. After the installation, the system can be set to the following modes:
Initial mode after SAP BW/4HANA Starter Add-On is installed
Unsupported object types cannot be created
Existing scenarios can continue running as before
Unsupported objects can be changed when adding them to a white list
No imports of unsupported object types and white list is not relevant any more
Only SAP BW/4HANA compatible objects available in the system
System is working with the new objects, but final preparation for the conversion is not done yet
Final preparation is done and system is ready for conversion
Some parts of the systems are not working any more (BPC Virtual InfoProviders, Data Marts, ..)
Should be planned in a way that this step is entered right before the system conversion
System works like regular SAP BW system without restrictions
Same as SAP BW/4HANA Starter Add-On not installed
