Software giant SAP AG has announced the availability of SAP Business Suite, powered by SAP HANA.
SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA is designed to provide SMBs with the ability to translate real-time insights to action immediately while removing the complexity of redundant data and systems. It offers a broad variety of business scenarios – including marketing analysis, financial close, receivables management, material resource planning, as well as consumer and social sentiment analysis – as well as operational reporting and analytics.
“SAP is now the only provider of an integrated family of business applications that captures and analyzes transactional data in real time on a single in-memory platform,” the company boasts in a press release submitted to ChannelPro-SMB.
The new real-time SAP Business Suite provides an open environment, enabling operational analytics and reporting on live data. SAP has developed a non-disruptive service pack to get the new SAP Business Suite benefit. Moreover, SAP has made rapid deployment solutions available for fast implementation and migration.
For those customers that choose to migrate to SAP HANA, SAP is providing a comprehensive set of services, rapid-deployment solutions, and trained implementation consultants. A special rapid-deployment solution, planned to be released in the first quarter of 2013, will be designed for customers to go live in less than six months and will offer a complete package of preconfigured software, implementation services, content, and end user enablement for a fixed price and scope. †
“We can now eliminate the traditional trade-offs between cost and performance and reinvent real-time business while dramatically simplifying our customers’ landscapes, together with a strong open ecosystem of partners,” says Dr. Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP Executive Board. “And SAP Business Suite continues to fully support and optimize for all major databases in the industry, further demonstrating our commitment to openness and innovation without disruption.”
