Overview SAP BW 7.4 SP05 on SAP HANA and further Roadmap

SAP BW on SAP HANA continues to be the cornerstone of SAP’s strategic vision for enterprise data warehousing providing organizations a

solid data foundation to capture, store, transform and manage data in a scalable, enterprise-ready data warehouse. And as new challenges
