Business Case for Business Suite on HANA
Company-wide
Performance management
initiative
Enhancement pack upgrade & hardware replacement needed for ERP
Heading down path to side-car HANA
Requirements for business intelligence reports & dashboards, not just transactional reports

Business Suite on HANA became available for ramp-up
Merging transactional database made sense: • Landscape simplification • Real-time • No ETL • Time to value acceleration
for analytics

Project Planning
10
• Planning was developed in parallel of the execution, “just in time”!
• Cutover plan: 159 high level steps for ECC, Portal, eRecruiting, Trex
• Detailed cookbook for the ECC upgrade and migration: 220 pages
• One hundred issues identified and tracked through resolution
• Daily call to review progress, reassess and redefine the plan and synchronize the efforts
Through optimization, upgrade duration was reduced from one full week (sandbox) to a weekend (final go live)
Lessons Learned
11
• HANA is all about memory. However, sizing and management are not necessarily trivial. For instance, the Quick sizer did not work very well for a small database.
• Migration to HANA adds some work compared to a classic Enhancement Pack upgrade project, but not that much more.
• More issues were found in relation to Enhancement Pack 6 than with HANA itself.
• Virtualization helped tremendously. A lot of servers were needed on a temporary basis and on a short notice.
• Scheduling Go Live checks is involving. Address this early.
• Time management and teamwork were everything, especially for a distributed project with tight timeline.
Next Phases
12
• Implement HANA Live and Bobj for operational reporting and dashboards
– Scoping
– Manage memory
– Architect security
– Bring third party data into HANA
– Create views (few pre-defined ones can be leveraged)
– Implement Bobj report and dashboard
• Improve RTO and RPO for Disaster recovery
– Leverage asynchronous log shipping
• Explore application development possibilities
Conclusion
13
• ECC has been the backbone of our information system since the beginning
• The SAP ERP has helped us progress from a 12 employee startup to a worldwide, 1,200 employee organization
• Our business reality is one version of the truth, anywhere, anytime
• Suite on HANA takes the consolidation concept a lot further, unlocking the enterprise data safe:
– Simplified landscape and maintenance
– Quicker time to value cycles for new reports
– New insights through unlimited real time analytics
