Agenda
Summary

SAP HANA as a Platform for Innovation
Three questions for determining if you should use SAP HANA
What are your data
sources and types?
 Structured
(ERP, SQL-databases, special purpose
data formats – ex: genomics)
 Unstructured Text
(chats, social media, comment fields,
speech to text buffers)
 Streaming
(Networked devices, sensor data,
complex event streams)
 Graph
(relationships, mind maps, object
models)
 Geospatial
(demographics, GIS, satellite data)
What do you need
Superfast reaction time
with real-time results
for ?
 Complex and iterative
queries
(many fields, multiple datasets, ad-hoc
queries, planning-related operations,
advanced BI)
 Text analysis
(creating structure, and understanding
semantics, unstructured language)
 Advanced Text Search
(Google-style and semantic search)
 Predictive Analytics
(Modeling, machine learning, data
mining, informed decision making)
What language and data
access standards do
you need?
 ADBC – ABAP
(Custom extension applications in SAP
ABAP)
 ODBC - JDBC
(Microsoft Windows-based or Java
applications)
 R
(Statistical / data-mining functions in
Mathematica, MATLAB, SPSS, SAS)
 Javascript – Node.JS – Ruby
on Rails
(Native SAP HANA development,
scalable and rapidly developed web
apps)
 OData - JSON
(HTML5, UI5, analytics and UI portals
applets)

Viability?
Business Case for Predictive Maintenance
“Predictive maintenance
techniques help determine the
condition of in-service equipment
<by also using sensor/telemetry
data and alerts> in order to predict
when maintenance should be
performed. This approach offers
cost savings over routine or time-
based preventive maintenance,
because tasks are performed only
when warranted.
The main value of Predicted
Maintenance is to allow convenient
scheduling of corrective
maintenance, and to prevent
unexpected equipment failures.
The key is ‘the right information in
the right time’.” (Wikipedia)
Industries
Automotive
IM&C
High Tech
Part of a even bigger
business
transformation:
Product as a Service

Summary

Takeaways
1. Achieving business innovation takes in account value, design, and
invention. Test feasibility by crowdsourcing such as SAP Idea Incubator:
http://incubator.saphana.com
2. How to implement business innovation is a question of build vs. co-
innovate
3. Consider SAP HANA for data-centric projects that:
• Involve large data sets of multiple types and sources
• Need real time response for advanced analytics
• Match your language and data access requirements
• Try out a developer version of SAP HANA Platform at http://developers.sap.com
4. For transformative business innovation projects on SAP HANA, consider
SAP Custom Development services: http://service.sap.com/customdev
5. For rapid prototyping, try out SAP River: http://sap-river.com
