What SAP HANA Can't Do?


            Now that you have a basic idea of what SAP HANA is and what it can do, it's important to understand what SAP HANA isn't:


SAP HANA is not a reporting solution. In and of itself, it does not have a reporting capability. You have to install and attach a BI tool —such as the SAP Business- Objects Business Intelligence (BI) platform —to generate reports.

v  SAP HANA is not an extract, transform, and load (ETL) tool. SAP HANA needs either a standalone ETL tool or SAP Data Services to bring data into it.

v  SAP HANA is not a data modeling tool. To create data models, you can use SAP HANA Studio, or if you are using SAP BW on SAP HANA, you can continue to use the SAP BW data modeling tools.

v  SAP HANA is not a module of SAP ERP. This is a completely different tool from SAP ERP. SAP HANA can be the database upon which your SAP ERP solution sits, but it isn't a transaction system in and of itself.

v  SAP HANA is not SAP BW. SAP BW is a tool for a persistent, highly structured data model based on an extended star-schema concept. SAP HANA is not.

v  SAP HANA is not a data quality management tool —but you should have one!


Now that you know what SAP HANA is and is not, you are left with a really, really fast database that needs a place to live and friends such as hardware, ETL, modeling, and a BI solution or transaction solution. In the end, SAP HANA is what you make of it. Many customers incorrectly equate SAP HANA to a final solution, like an SAP tool or specific functionality. They say, "We're going to implement SAP HANA reporting," or "Can you show me SAP HANA?" You can't implement SAP HANA reporting because it isn't a reporting tool. And although we can show you an SAP HANA box and the database tables on SAP HANA, it's like trying to show an Oracle database, which is not really something-you can demonstrate. SAP HANA is power. SAP HANA is speed. SAP HANA is an enabler. It's what you do with your data and information after it's on SAP HANA that counts. That's what SAP HANA is all about.
