Accelerate analytics to enable smarter, faster businessdecisions while making IT more cost effective
Data analysis for the Enterprise
Information is a vital aspect of doing business today more than ever before. Enterprises capture data from all across the company, including vast numbers of business transactions, operational metrics, sales orders, billing, and accounting records — plus data gathered from an entire ecosystem of suppliers, partners, and distribution channels.
Until now, analyzing large volumes of data has been a slow, cumbersome process that frustrates decision-makers at all levels of the enterprise, from the executive suite all the way to the front lines. And when the data is very dynamic, that adds another layer of complexity.
Today’s enterprise requires the flexibility and responsiveness of nearly instant access to business data at the department level. This need for near realtime data can’t be fulfilled with yesterday’s technology.
Make smarter, faster business decisions
The enterprise recognizes that everything is mobile, connected, interactive, immediate and fluid. When opportunities arise, they need the ability to seize them with zero delay. Companies that make more informed business decisions are more likely to succeed, because they are acting on facts, rather than hunches. HP AppSystems for SAP HANA? enable the enterprise by greatly speeding up the analysis of large amounts of business data. Decisions can be made faster, and their benefits realized sooner.
With HP AppSystems for SAP HANA, today’s enterprise can achieve nearly instant access to business data at the department level so they can make smarter, faster business decisions.
Benefits for the Enterprise
HP can help enterprises reap the rewards of faster data analysis:
Provide noticeably faster speeds for data analysis—up to 1500 times faster
Allow decision-makers to pose the question, “Am I doing the right thing?” and make decisions faster based on actual information, not just guesswork
Avoid costly mistakes made when data is outdated or not readily available for mission-critical decisions
Spot trends and important developments quickly, before opportunities are missed or problems impact the bottom line
Protect customer satisfaction and employee efficiency, both of which can be irreparably damaged by slow responses to rapidly changing business needs
Stay ahead of global competitors, who may also be deploying innovative technologies that enable them to move faster in the marketplace
The HP AppSystems for SAP HANA enable faster data analysis across a wide variety of SAP Business Suite tools, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM) data sources, as well as non-SAP sources of data with SAP BusinessObjects? tools. Even data from Microsoft Excel and comparable spreadsheet applications can be incorporated, offering simplicity for many users without additional training.
