SAP HANA

ProblemUsers experience long processing time when running their SAP applications. This has a big impact on the efficiency of the work processes and involves in higher costs.

SolutionSAP HANA introduced it’s in-memory database, which has on average a 16.6 times faster query run-time than a SAP system on a normal database.

ResultsWith SAP R/3 running on a SAP HANA Database, data is retrieved much faster than before. Large database queries took a lot of time in the past, but can now be done within a few moments. Users can perform their tasks faster than before; a time-saving technology which saves the organization money on the long-run.

SAP Fiori

ProblemFor a long time the User Experience has been neglected in the world of SAP. Users experience long learning curves which results in low user efficiency and higher costs for the organization.

SolutionSAP Fiori is a set of front-end applications for most used SAP back-end transactions, re-implemented using SAP UI5 for consumer-like experience.

ResultsWith SAP as back-end and a modifiable SAP Fiori front-end the user satisfaction will be improved through an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. It drives efficiency and productivity of employees with a lower TCO. Moreover, SAP Fiori promotes better business decisions by enabling quicker approvals.

SAP UI5

ProblemIt costs an organization many hours to instruct it’s new employees for basic tasks in SAP. Many mistakes are made by the employee when he/she is not fully instructed. On top of that, SAP standard Fiori does not match your requirements for improved support on business processes and user efficiency.

SolutionWith custom-made SAP UI5 applications, the new employees are able to do their task with more ease, and without making many mistakes.

ResultThe customer spends less money on training employees, and on fixing errors. Conclusion: lower TCO.
