enable intelligent enterprises to thrive in an Experience Economy.
These updates help customers quickly turn data into business value.
The announcements were made at the SAP® TechEd conference being
held October 8–10, 2019, in Barcelona,
Spain.
"Our business technology platform brings SAP HANA and analytics
closer together with SAP Cloud Platform so users can make smarter,
faster and more-confident business decisions," said Juergen Mueller, SAP chief technology officer
and member of the Executive Board. "SAP ensures high levels of
openness and flexibility including out-of-the-box integration,
modularity and ease of extension in cloud, on-premise and hybrid
deployment models. With this open and flexible approach, SAP is
committed to helping our customers achieve superior business
outcomes."
By bringing together SAP technology into one "stack" with a
single reference architecture, the business technology platform
from SAP delivers required services for modern enterprises. It
encompasses database and data management, application development
and integration, analytics, intelligent technologies and services
to help organizations extend their SAP applications, integrate
their landscape and build new applications to improve business
processes. With the business technology platform customers can
benefit from easy access to SAP data and out-of-the-box business
content that helps turn data into business value. Additionally,
partnerships with hyperscale vendors and seamless interoperability
with their technologies deliver a high level of scalability and
flexibility.
SAP HANA® Cloud Services to Infuse Intelligence into
Data
Comprising SAP Data Warehouse Cloud solution, SAP HANA® Cloud
and SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP HANA Cloud Services combines all data
and analytics capabilities in these solutions as one set of
interconnected services to store, process, govern and consume large
volumes of data.
SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, a business-ready data warehouse
in the cloud, offers users a self-service solution to easily and
quickly tie all their business data together and translate it into
value for their specific line of business. With a simple and
flexible pricing model, customers can avoid the high up-front
investment costs of a traditional data warehouse and easily and
cost-effectively scale their data warehouse as data demands
continue to grow. SAP Data Warehouse Cloud can be deployed either
stand-alone or as an extension to customers' existing on-premise
SAP BW/4HANA® solution or SAP HANA software. More than 2,000
customers are registered for the beta program for SAP Data
Warehouse Cloud, and general availability is planned for Q4/2019.

"Now, our people are even more efficient thanks to SAP Data
Warehouse Cloud," said Stefan
Fruehauf, PwC Partner and Global Leadership team member.
"Connecting all this data from around the world has had an enormous
impact on our business users."
"SAP Data Warehouse Cloud gave us all the tools to create a
single data landscape," said Andreas
Foerger, manager of the Analytics and Reporting team at
Randstad Germany. "We were able to combine cloud and on-premise
data with internal and external sources. Thanks to the data
virtualization capabilities, we can connect all our data without
creating redundancies. The semantic layer that SAP Data Warehouse
Cloud comes with helps us sync all our data from different sources
in a way that makes perfect sense to the business."
"With SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, we now have a tool at hand that
goes far beyond the modeling capabilities of a BI tool," said
Andreas Madsen, senior data and
analytics partner at VELUX. "We can give our business users
flexibility, but also make sure that we govern and protect the
data. Our business users are empowered. They can easily get the
important information they need when they need it. This solution
bridges the gap not only between the on-premise and the cloud world
but also between IT and business. Everyone is operating more
efficiently."
Customers can preregister for a free trial of SAP Data Warehouse
Cloud at www.sap.com/trial-data-warehouse-cloud.
SAP HANA Cloud is natively built for the cloud to bring
customers the simplicity and speed of SAP HANA for all their data.
It offers one virtual interactive access layer across all data
sources with a scalable query engine, decoupling data consumption
from data management. Users are equipped with a simplified, unified
data access layer to streamline data processing while consolidating
and harmonizing data integration in their intelligent applications.
SAP HANA Cloud can be deployed either as a stand-alone solution or
as an extension to customers' existing on-premise environments,
allowing them to benefit from the cloud and the ability of SAP HANA
to analyze live, transactional data. General availability for SAP
HANA Cloud is planned for Q4/2019. Get more information here.
The latest release of SAP Analytics Cloud was announced
at SAP TechEd Las Vegas and includes enhancements for enterprise
planning. These updates enable business users to automate typical
planning processes using new tools such as a wizard that simplifies
the creation of planning workflows by automatically creating
calendar tasks for planning process contributors. The new "builder
tool" creates different versions of rolling forecasts. Improved
"data actions" include prompts and variables to cover the same
calculations across plans to help save time by maintaining a
single, complex calculation rather than managing multiple versions.
Additionally, SAP Analytics Cloud is planned to be embedded in SAP
SuccessFactors® solutions as well as SAP S/4HANA® and made
available in Q4/2019, giving companies better insight into their HR
and business data to improve people and organizational decisions.

"SAP Analytics Cloud is increasing the efficiency of our
planning cycles by 40 percent to 60 percent by spending less time
gathering and preparing data," said Richard
Masci, head, Financial Systems, Airbus Americas Inc. "This
is a huge savings for us."
To further help developers, the embedded edition of SAP
Analytics Cloud is planned to be offered as a service under the SAP
Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement. Developers can easily activate
this analytics service to quickly build and integrate analytics
into their applications through live connectivity with SAP
HANA.

with on-premise, cloud and hybrid deployments. The 4.3 release of

tighter integration with SAP Analytics Cloud. Benefits of the new
