SAP Hana

SAP WORKSHOP | FRI, 26 APRIL | 6:00PM -7:00PM

• SAP visual intelligence = like glorified pivot table (excel)

Why use SAP hana

• its a fast way to let you play with data esp in pivot table form (cos large data set cannot be manipulated that way in other apps but hana does it fast) - you can build dashboards and test theories faster
• according to SAP guys, its faster than oracle, hinting less complicated, less baggage, possible to handle billions of entries in pivot
• finally they said "google it and you'll find its very easy blah blah blah" (OKAY...)
• guy sitting in front me says "i came here for the WOW factor, can you please wow us with some demo of what SAP hana can do?" (exactly the question i wanted to ask) and unfortunately the SAP guy says "well i just looked at the data for the first time here... but if i had created the views in the dashboard, you would be able to see how you can manipulate the data SOOOO easily! it would be so easy even for a non programmer to manipulate the data and find the connections in the data!" (well-meaning, but still.... facepalm)
