SAP HANA appliance software goes on general availability
SAP today (21 June 2011) announced the general availability of SAP HANA appliance software, heralding what it claims is "a new generation of analytics, business applications and IT simplification, with SAP in-memory computing".The company also announced that manufacturing giant Mitsui has selected SAP HANA – joining Hilti, Medtronic and others, and claims that the customer pipeline for the new system is one of fastest growing in SAP's history.
SAP executive board member Dr Vishal Sikka says the appliance introduces "a new paradigm" of real real-time computing, allowing companies to re-think their existing business approaches and difficulties.
Sikka cites one customer using SAP HANA to run real-time simulations that help managers to understand profitability and improve margins per project, using granular revenue and cost data.
Another unnamed customer that provides IT services for transportation firms is using SAP HANA to search through 360 million traffic records "in a little over one second", allowing taxi companies to direct and despatch cabs more efficiently and in real time.
Sikka also says that some customers are using SAP HANA to pull both SAP and non-SAP data, without interrupting their existing IT systems.
"General availability is a major milestone for SAP HANA, but this is just the beginning," states Sikka.
"SAP HANA brings a fundamental transformation to the way companies run their businesses, and is at the heart of innovation across our entire product and technology portfolio at SAP," he adds.
First mooted last spring, SAP HANA was delivered to beta customers in November 2010 before today's launch.

SAP packaged implementations: Status, history, challenges ...
Prioritizing implementation. With AcceleratedSAP, SAP made a global, and highly public, Board-level investment to improve implementations. During the last ten years, despite programs such as Best Practices and consulting quality initiatives such as Safeguarding , implementation-related innovation became less visible.
Today, the view that implementations are a worthwhile strategic and competitive battleground seems to be gaining ground inside SAP. Consider the following points:
RDS is a Board-level program that reports directly to co-CEO Jim Snabe. Jim mentioned Rapid Deployment solutions during his primary Sapphire keynote speech, signaling its importance to SAP. Since first customer shipment last September, SAP has already released more than twenty RDS packages; it has announced sixty packages so far, with more under consideration and development. That’s an aggressive development schedule. SAP’s development roadmap for RDS is scheduled to increase, rather than slow down. The pace of investment and the fast release schedule appear to demonstrate strong commitment. RDS covers numerous functional product domains, with plans to expand further, creating a broad footprint. This is not a niche product, but has relevance to both large and small SAP customers.According to SAP’s Senior Vice President responsible for RDS, Robert Viehmann , the company plans to deliver these new solutions widely:
STRATEGIC ANALYSIS
The issue of pain related to implementation is not an academic or abstract topic. Enterprise customers (of SAP and virtually all its competitors) waste too much time, money, and resources on the implementation process itself. It’s time for the major vendors — SAP, Oracle, and so on — to address this challenge in a substantive manner that goes beyond marketing pronouncements.
“Packaged” or “productized” services and solutions offer an important method for enterprise software vendors and service providers to reduce implementation risk and increase predictability for customers. These solutions bring together software, best practices, and a highly defined process for delivering services, so customers pay less to implement core software functions and can go live faster.
