10th of January, 2013 – SAP launched the Business Suite powered by SAP HANA and the whole world listened.

While HANA, SAP’s new prodigy child, embodies SAP’s finest tuning and new in-memory database technology, the SAP Business Suite has been around for many years.

There are a lot of videos and articles that explain what HANA can do for you, my personal favorite video is the one where Steve Lucas, Global GM&Senior Executive, SAP Business Analytics &Technology, gives a simple and comprehensive view of SAP HANA.

By powering Business Suite to run on HANA, SAP brings together 41 years of experience and stability with the best of its innovative technology power, to bring effective solutions that respond to our customer’s needs.

To read about the benefits of Business Suite running on HANA, take a look at this blog post written by Vishal Sikka, member of SAP’s Executive Board and Global Managing Board, heading technology and innovation for the company.

Interested in gaining the benefits of Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, but you don’t know where to start?

I have good news for you: you can start with one of our SAP Rapid Deployment Solutions related to Business Suite powered by SAP HANA!

Let me start by giving you some key coordinates for SAP Rapid Deployment Solutions and how your business can benefit from them:

Rapid Deployment Solutions came to exist in response to customers’ need for simple, ready to consume solutions, offering integration and responding to business needs.

By deploying SAP’s latest innovations, Rapid deployment solutions offer a rapid return of investment.

Rapid Deployment Solutions are sold in bite sized chunks called packages. In one package, you get everything you need to be up and running quickly: standard software, proven best practices, step-by-step deployment instructions, and end user enablement materials, at a fixed-price service offering from our Consulting or Partners – in just weeks.

The best practices content delivered together with the enablement content helps you to start quickly as well as to enable your users quickly.

With a defined scope and predictable costs, there are no surprises. And you can expand your solution as you go.

When it comes to Partners and Rapid deployment solutions, there are two things to remember: Partners can equal the time and cost of the Rapid deployment solutions packages, but no in case can they go above.

“SAP’s rapid-deployment solutions (RDS) offerings are partner-friendly accelerators to bring SAP solutions to the market.’’

Accenture’s Cenk Ozdemir, SAP Practice Senior Executive

Pierre Audoin Consultants interview, April 2012



The potential benefits?

  • Deploy solutions quickly and easily with preconfigured software, content and enablement
  • Gain transparency due to the fixed scope, fixed price and fixed implementation time.
  • Address your most pressing business needs today while laying the foundation for future expansion
  • Choose from different deployment, hosting and financing options from SAP or its broad ecosystem of partners

    

“SAP Rapid Deployment Solutions (RDS) are right and important for the market. In particular SMBs tend to avoid large projects, as they prefer a fast ROI and benefits.’’

Uwe Bohnhorst, Chief Operating Officer, itelligence AG

Pierre Audoin Consultants interview, April 2012

Rapid deployment Solutions have a great record, having been adopted by businesses of all sizes, having significantly simplified and shortened the time it takes to put software to work for the customers’ business needs.
