HANA is shifting SAP into high gear — don’t get left in the dust. In this updated

Learn how big data, in-memory computing, and SAP HANA come together to influence your
business strategies, from trend reporting to predictive analysis. Then, determine which type of
SAP HANA implementation is right for you as you uncover what you need to know about the
different options, technical requirements, sizing, and migration considerations.
Studio and Information Composer, SAP HANA’s data modeling tools, are covered in detail
together with data provisioning in SAP HANA, including step-by-step instructions for SAP Data
Services. In addition, the authors help you understand how the SAP BusinessObjects BI platform
