Next steps 1. Create “real-time” business use cases. • How will you run your firm with real-time insight to granular transactions? How will it be different from period reporting and “drilldown”? What can you learn from SI’s solutions? 2. Understand your license options. • SAP Hana can be expensive, and organizations need to understand the return on investment before committing to a longterm strategy. AD&D pros need to understand what license their company currently holds for SAP Hana (if any) and what license is required for the first use case to get started. 3. Learn from BW on SAP Hana. • Early users are “just” running BW on SAP Hana, but planning more. 4. Consider accelerating compute-intensive processes. • What would happen if you could run MRP in minutes? © 2015 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 24
