SAP HANA Technology Innovations
+In-Memoryrow and column Store Column = Fast queries
Compression 5 – 20x
Partitioning; In-Database computing
Analyze large data sets;Complex computations
No aggregate tablesFlexible modeling;No data duplication
++++
Real-Time replicationinsert only on delta Fast data loads
AUp to 2 TB DRAM incommodity servers Large data sets in-memory
Multi-core architecture Parallel execution on a huge scale
Technology is available now, but how does SAP HANA create value for your business?

SAP HANA – A Game
14
• Imagine Your Biggest Table - Which Are The Key Fields?
• Picture the Other Fields – What Would It Mean to Select Any One of Them?
• Imagine Sorting Via That Field, Now Aggregate Via That Field
Selecting CO line items - Transactions KSB1N, KSB1L and KOB1N
• Select by object, partner object or source object
• Selection options under „Further Selection Criteria“ become viable
15
Aggregating CO Line Items - Transactions KSB1N and KOB1N
• Aggregate by Cost Element and Other Dimensions on the Fly
• Change Layouts with One Click
• Navigate between Cost Center Groups and Cost Centers

Summarization Levels in Profitability Analysis
20
• Where IT used to predefine summarization levels for e.g. distribution channel, sales organization and material group, now these totals are captured on the fly
Summarization Objects in Product Cost Controlling
21
• Where IT used to run period close jobs to calculate aggregates per plant, product group, product, and so on and store as „summarization objects“ now these are aggregated on the fly.
New Aggregate Options in Material Ledger
• Material Price Analysis (CKM3) aggregates documents by inputs and outputs. New tables allow quick aggregation.
• In this context drill-down reporting (KKML0) is practical for multiple materials.
