Innovation. Agility. Experience.
Digital transformation is one of the must scenarios that industries are adapting to today, and at a much faster rate than ever. Moving to the latest versions and innovative databases such as SAP HANA is almost mandatory in today’s times to keep up with the rapid adaption of scaling data scenarios. While ERP migrations see a lot more attention in terms of investment of time and effort, the data warehouse systems are usually assumed to be less critical. In our experience, this is by far one of those underestimated approaches that result in repeated efforts.
SAP BW/4HANA is a data warehouse solution with agile and flexible data modeling, SAP HANA-optimized processes, and state-of-the-art user interfaces, which is highly optimized for the SAP HANA platform. SAP BW/4HANA offers a managed approach to data warehousing.
