Recap – power of HANA is the foundation for a geo database

HANA is a modern web scale geo database architecture

HANA has a range of functions – high performance, fusion – possible to geo enable data, federate queries, connect to web pages, analytics tools, other applications, make data available for immediate action

Speed that solutions are deployed – analytics, development are completed faster, from months to hours

Source: SAP

Rapidly develop new use cases, new analytical model, new dashboard, new predictive model, using spatial engine

Quickly employ, adapt, due to integration with Esri apps; remove barriers to adopt

SAP Analytics Cloud, S/4HANA, has native connection to Esri stack
