My take on SAP HANA?

[kevin_wilson2]

My previous version of this posting was a little harsh according to some folks so here is another take on it...

After the last 2 or so years of, all consuming news on SAP HANA I'd like to see the accelerated release of apps taking advantage of it's analytics, performance and volume capabilities. I'd like to hear more news around the applications that leverage SAP HANA's capabilities rather than HANA itself. As an example, in a few months time SAP EM is being released on SAP HANA and once I get my hands on it I'll be able to gauge the net gain for a prospective client for using EM on HANA vs. not. The point is that the business value comes from SAP EM and without it HANA is irrelevant in this regard. Now SAP EM on HANA may well provide added value and that's where it plays an important role. A blog will follow on that in the future...
