Abap Development and Hana Analytics

The guides are best practices on the topic of Abap Development. On the other hand, it is about practical tips for the strategy and implementation of SAP Hana in the context of a BI strategy.

The high degree of flexibility and expandability of SAP software brings both advantages and disadvantages for companies: The software can be optimally adapted to customer-specific requirements and thus the added value can be significantly increased through its use.

At the same time, extensibility entails the risk of customer-specific developments that are complex, costly to maintain and prone to errors.

This challenge in the day-to-day business of many developers prompted members of the DSAG Development working group to revise and update the existing guide on the subject of Abap development.

The result is an almost 100-page document with numerous tips, assistance and experiences for practical work.

Hana as part of a BI Strategy

Hana as a database and development platform is one of the central topics of discussion in the SAP user community.

The new possibilities for using Hana are complex and diverse. For this reason, a core team from the Hana Analytics working group in the BI & Analytics working group has created a 50-page guide that highlights the key decision points for using Hana as part of a business intelligence & analytics strategy.

The focus is on the question of how a sensible entry into SAP Hana can take place within the framework of a BI & Analytics strategy and which factors need to be taken into account.

Possible target images of the Hana introduction and suitable expansion paths in each case are presented.
