Summary

SAP Hana is SAP's latest flagship technology, and it seems to be the company's silver-bullet response to almost every question. There is, however, a good reason behind this, as SAP has extensively expanded SAP Hana's capabilities in many different directions since its introduction in 2010. Unfortunately, this has created some confusion in the market when it comes to understanding what SAP Hana actually can do, what it's already used for, how to get started, and how to leverage related investments over time. Application development & delivery (AD&D) professionals and their peers need to understand the various use case scenarios of SAP Hana to be able to separate the hype from reality and know what it takes to leverage different SAP Hana licensing options and unlock its full potential for their business.
