 The Next Generation Data Warehouse

SAP BW/4HANA…
• A new data warehouse solution Simplicity Openness
• Highly optimized for SAP HANA
• Solves analytics problems in seconds that take other systems days
SAP
• Leverages SAP HANA differencaitors (e.g. Integration,...) BW/4HANA
• Integrates with new data sources and engines Design
Principles
• Accelerates solution development
• Is ready for the internet of things at petabyte scale High
Modern
Performanc
• Creates the logical data warehousing foundation Interface

The transition from standard SAP BW to SAP BW/4HANA can be compared with the transition of the SAP Business Suite to SAP
S/4HANA. As part of this transition, SAP BW/4HANA will drastically reduce the number of data objects to be stored and
maintained,
similar to the elimination ofProprietary
aggregates in SAP S/4HANA.
