Hana Investment
Five1, a management consultancy specializing in SAP Business Intelligence, has decided on the largest IT investment program in its history. The company is investing significantly in new hardware, but also in additional licenses.
In future, the new SAP system landscape will be based primarily on the Hana database. The first of three planned expansion stages will already provide 1 terabyte of main memory.
"We don't just install new systems"
says Marcel Salein, CIO of Five1.
"We are putting our IT on a completely new footing."
In the past, only the consulting department had a Hana test and demo system, but in future product development will also have its own Hana systems.
Other systems with different operating systems and databases are also kept available for cross-platform and backport tests.
