Hana(In-memory Computing)

SAP Hana Discovery and Assessment Services

Johnson Technology Services, Inc (JTSi) offers a structured methodology and a roadmap to adopt SAP HANA in your organization. We analyze the impact of HANA on People, Process and Technology and deliver a detailed report of our findings. We begin with a process-centric approach and collaboratively work with your team to understand the current Pain Points such as long-running critical reports; slow and inefficient business processes; and lack of actionable, timely and accurate information. We then focus on your Technology readiness and determine the required incremental efforts along with People enablement. Our recommendations will be aligned with your Business and Information Technology goals.

Our assessment report will include the following:

• Prioritized list of existing Business Processes and Operational Reports that could benefit from adoption of HANA along with improvement recommendations and return on investment calculations. For example, we might suggest replicating data from OLTP to HANA for faster reads and/or enhancing existing ERP functions to leverage the speed of HANA;
• Missing KEY analytical capabilities that could be revenue enablers and critical cost drivers that are possible due to the speed of HANA. HANA brings a new paradigm and approach towards analytics that has historically been constrained due to technology limitations;
• Custom development required to take advantage of HANA functionality along with Proof of Concept approaches and estimated effort;
• Review and re-design of your existing Data Architecture for improvements in:
  • Data Model; and
  • Information Flow;
• Landscape Optimization and System Consolidation recommendations;
• Technical Infrastructure recommendations including Cloud options; and
• A comprehensive HANA roadmap including implementation options and business case.

SAP BW on HANA Services

• Upgrades from SAP BW3.X or 7.X to SAP BW 7.3
• SAP BW 7.3 conversion to SAP HANA
• Analytics visualization using BOBJ on HANA. Design Custom Data Marts or leverage existing BW. Using HANA studio, develop new data models on HANA etc.,
• BPC on HANA

SAP HANA Install Services

• Assistance with HANA landscape design and sizing
• Landscape Optimization
• Fixed fee installation of HANA
• Data replication services from SAP and NON-SAP
• Data Quality services using appropriate tool set (Business Object Data Services, etc.)

Business Process Re-engineering And Custom Application Development

• Developing next generation applications (business logic, business models, data models, workflow etc.) to run natively on the SAP HANA platform and fully utilize in-memory computing capabilities. Examples include: Predictive MRO using statistical and other mathematical models based on high volume of historical data; Route/Flight optimization; real-time Complex Compliance adherence, etc.
• Migrating legacy applications to run faster on HANA technology without costly optimization and application recoding.
• Enhancing existing standard applications with missing functionality using HANA technology.
• Providing full range of reporting, dashboards and data models that run natively on the SAP HANA platform.
• Providing Proof of Concept for predictive analytical capabilities using Big Data and HANA leading to increased revenue, improved profitability, and better decision support. Proof of Concepts include: Blueprinting, Model Development, and Concept Validation.
• Improving the performance of existing SAP business suite functionality utilizing the power of SAP HANA. Standard SAP applications may have mass-data-related performance problems. Using SAP HANA secondary database to read mass data can speed up calculations leading to improved system performance. Examples include:
  • Faster Operational Reporting: Using the in-memory appliance alongside ERP data replication speeding up long running operational reports: Financial Reporting (DSO reports), Sales Reporting (Sales order analysis), etc.
  • Accelerate Existing Business Processes: Processing / calculation takes place on HANA with real time data replication from ERP sources. Calculations may include utilizing built-in predictive algorithms or newly written algorithms.
