The constant increase in volumes of data is a real challenge for companies and stretches their IT systems to the limit. Furthermore, specialist departments are always pressing for new applications. Given the competitive nature of digitization, they want to be able to benchmark their distribution channels in real-time, for example, whilst at the same time be able to quickly submit personalized offers to customers in real-time as well. In short, the work involved needs to be done quicker.
Competitive advantages through real-time analytics
However there is a solution for this, namely the in-memory solution SAP HANA®. In business, companies have a significant competitive edge if decisions can be taken on a real-time basis instead of on historical data or aggregates from OLAP systems. This is facilitated by SAP HANA® as a turbo in-memory database.
As a result, data right down to the individual postings and transactions can be called in real-time, instead of merely based on pre-defined data. According to research by Forrester, IT operating costs are therefore reduced on average by 37 percent, combined with increased performance at the same time for development projects and system maintenance activities.
Dynamic Services for SAP HANA® from T-Systems makes these technologies available as standardized, industrialized and integrated solution elements. They are aligned with the cloud services provided by T-Systems, thus offering simpler access to SAP HANA® technologies. At the same time, companies can also make the most of the advantages associated with the cloud solution: they are able to use the infrastructures without having to operate them themselves, and are then billed based on the respective consumption value, which is a better alternative to in-house operation.
