12 Why SAP HANA is the future of business

13 Have you asked yourself these questions recently? We need to get information out much faster We need faster time to innovate Month end processing is taking too long HANA makes sense but we can t afford it Can t we rent a HANA server for just our current requirements How do we scale up or down with a HANA server It makes sense to become more efficient but we can t afford it Trying to buy a server complicates our decision process x10 fold

14 Let s use a simple analogy

15 Say you just moved to a city, and you re looking for a place to live

16 You can either build a house or rent an apartment

17 If you build a house, there are a few important decisions you have to make

18 How big is the house?

19 Are you planning to grow a large family?

20 Remodel, additions typically cost a lot more once the house is built

21 But, you get a chance to customise flooring roof tiles lighting landscaping windows floor plan

22 Once the house is built, you re responsible for maintenance pay property tax hire landscaper electricity plumber water electrician heating and cooling gutter cleaning

23 How about renting?

24 Consider a builder in your city builds a massive number of apartment units

25 A unit can easily be converted into a 2,3,4 or more units

26 You make fewer, simpler decisions You can start with one unit and grow later, or downsize

27 But you do not have a lot of options to customise your unit

28 However, builders provide you with very high quality infrastructure high capacity electricity triple pane windows green materials high speed internet

66 Key points to take home Don t let your technical leads convince you that owning your SAP architecture is always the right thing to do Remember, the CEO or CFO does not care which version of what hardware solution your SAP environment is running on, and neither should you have to Focus more on adding business value through other innovative solutions which can provide you with a greater competitive advantage through management excellence (Your competitors are already doing well at operational excellence) Staff retention, especially within the highly specialised area of SAP architecture, is proving to be more of a challenge than ever before Plan for a cloud solution to be a part of your short term strategy if it isn t already Ensure adequate internal processes are in place to manage a strategic relationship with your service provider (billing processes, SLAs and problem escalation and formalised communication protocols etc) Sufficiently evaluate and test your solution provider, it is bound to be a long term relationship
