Vishal Sikka, Member of the SAP Executive Board, invites you into his office for a
special edition openSAP course, An Introduction to SAP HANA by Dr. Vishal Sikka.  This course provides an opportunity for everyone to learn why SAP HANA was developed and to better understand the breakthrough technical innovations behind the platform.

interest in learning more about the innovation that is SAP HANA and how it helps SAP customers and the world to run better.
