What's going on in the SAP system?

IT managers are currently facing two challenges: On the one hand, they must develop ideas to benefit from digital business. On the other hand, they need to operate core systems in a lean and effective manner.

This balancing act can be achieved with the help of analysis tools for Operations Intelligence (OI). Datavard understands OI as the ability to intelligently analyze operational systems and system landscapes with suitable analysis tools.

Among other things, this allows companies to gain insights into which parts of the system, but especially which data, are really being used and how the volume of data relates to usage.

Performance bottlenecks can also be analyzed. This intelligence can be used for more effective SAP system operation, as a basis for archiving, for optimizing processes, and for implementing Big Data scenarios or Industry 4.0 applications.

Such usage analysis is particularly interesting when it takes place almost in real time, as with Datavard HeatMap. Data and objects are continuously analyzed here in the running system.

This information can be used to answer relevant questions about system operation, such as:

  • Which data assets are most important to users?
  • Which data (and time slices) are really used and how often?
  • Are my processes running as expected?
  • How is the performance of the most important data?
  • Is application X being used as planned?
  • Do the test scenarios continue to reflect actual user behavior?
  • Which tables in the Hana system are frequently used, loaded, changed?

With the help of the analysis tool, time can be saved on system queries and tests, storage capacities can be reduced and standard processes can be monitored.

A large German commercial bank saved 71,000 minutes of query waiting time per day using Datavard HeatMap. An international food company reduced its testing effort by 320 hours per quarter. Another special feature: HeatMap can already be used for Hana native.
