Quantify the business value of SAP HANA

Yesterday I shared the HANA use case repository that will be officially launched at SAPPHIRE NOW in Orlando next week. Today, I would like to share a value calculator for SAP HANA which will be showcased at the discussion table “Building the Business Case for SAP HANA” in the Database and Technology campus and in the Run Better Campus at the discussion table  “Deploy SAP HANA to Deliver Real Value in Record Time”

Why a value calculator?

Have you recently been so inspired by a really cool technology yet struggled to articulate its value within your organization to your management? The journey from “inspiration” to “securing the budget” is not trivial. It usually takes a skilled value engineer to analyze business processes and explore ways to systematically improve the value of an organizations goods and services

This is exactly the purpose of the Value calculator for SAP HANA. This tool has been specifically designed to enable you to quickly and easily quantify the value of SAP HANA by leveraging use cases that you can implement today.  The HANA Value Calculator provides you with an immediate analysis, leveraging your data and predefined assumptions, of the potential value to your business by deploying SAP HANA.

The calculator captures a small set of scenarios that :

• SAP has identified with customers globally
• Have resonated with business economic buyers
• Often stimulate the discovery of scenarios for a particular business
• May not be applicable to all customers in terms of  industries, regions or size
