What does your firm need?
Wouldn’t it be great to know our business like the back of our hand- and be able to know key figures real-time and do this with the ease of telling time. Every business wants to know answers to these questions:
· Who are my biggest customers and how profitable are they?
· How much does this customer owe us and what are there payment terms?
· What are the top five transactions on my accounts in the last month?
· Who are our biggest suppliers and what is our annual spend with them?
· How much did we spend with a particular supplier to-date?
· Do I have enough products in stock to ship this large order immediately?
Current Scenario:
In today’s business world information is literally exploding- Per a study conducted by IDC in 2009, information is doubling in size every 18 months and will continue to do so in the future. Furthermore users are demanding consumer-like experience with regards to access and performance of information. How can the IT department harness the intelligence from Big Data, while responding to user requirements in a cost-effective manner and with low-risk?
The Solution:
SAP HANA allows you to analyze information in real-time at unprecedented speeds on large volumes of transactional data straight from your ERP system. Flexible analytic models can be created based on the real-time and historic business data and made available to end-users through the BOBJ BI platform.
Organizations wanting to take advantage of the real-time reporting made possible by SAP HANA would like to do it affordably, predictably and quickly.
Easy way to consume the solution:
SAP’s answer to these requirements of speed, predictability and cost-effectiveness are SAP Rapid Deployment Solutions. With over 80 different packages and hundreds of installations globally, the rapid-deployment solutions are the new and preferred way to consume new technology quickly, affordably and with low or no risk. No wonder there was a great response to SAP Rapid Deployment Solutions at the recent SAPPHIRE NOW, which my colleague Jeff Winter dubbed the Tipping Point for rapid-deployment solutoins.
