SAP Introduces BusinessObjects Strategic Workforce Planning Application

SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) has reached another key milestone in its mission to harness the transformative power of in-memory computing with the availability of SAP® High-Performance Analytic Appliance (SAP HANA) software. This first version of SAP HANA is the result of a robust co-innovation program between SAP and key partners and customers. Customers include Coca-Cola Hellenic, Future Group, Hilti and many others. SAP also introduced the SAP® BusinessObjects™ Strategic Workforce Planning application, the first in a new generation of in-memory applications based on SAP HANA. These announcements were made at SAP® TechEd 2010, being held in Bangalore, India from December 1-3.

New Reality of Real Time With Launch of SAP® High-Performance Analytic Appliance

SAP Announces First of a New Generation of Business Applications Harnessing In-Memory Computing, Enables Companies to Re-Think Layers and Complexity of the Traditional IT Stack

BANGALORE, India - December 01, 2010 -

HR professionals can exploit the in-memory computing potential of SAP HANA by modeling in "real" real-time. They can simulate the "true cost" of the future workforce and make informed decisions to close strategic gaps.

SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) has reached another key milestone in iits mission to harness the transformative power of in-memory computing with the availability of SAP® High-Performance Analytic Appliance (SAP HANA) software. This first version of SAP HANA is the result of a robust co-innovation program between SAP and key partners and customers. Customers include Coca-Cola Hellenic, Future Group, Hilti and many others. SAP also introduced the SAP® BusinessObjects™ Strategic Workforce Planning application, the first in a new generation of in-memory applications based on SAP HANA. These announcements were made at SAP® TechEd 2010, being held in Bangalore, India from December 1-3.

SAP HANA brings the power of in-memory data processing - leveraging advances in main memory, processor technology and application know-how - to deliver unprecedented benefits to analytics and a new category of applications. The SAP BusinessObjects Strategic Workforce Planning application is the first such application that processes large quantities of data using in-memory computing with an innovative calculation engine that enables application processing to be performed directly "in-memory."

"SAP HANA and the first applications built on it are already showing customers the unprecedented speed of in-memory computing, as well as the latency they have in the layers of their current IT systems," said Vishal Sikka, executive board member, Technology and Innovation Platform, SAP AG. "The customers we are working with are already recognizing the great potential of SAP HANA to deliver solutions that were previously not feasible, and re-thinking how to run their businesses better, now that they can analyze, simulate and react in real time."

SAP Introduces First SAP HANA-Enabled Application SAP HANA provides a foundation on which a new generation of applications can be built, enabling customers to analyze large quantities of data from virtually any source in real time. With the integrative approach of SAP HANA and the new programming paradigm, SAP is simplifying existing computing layers and allowing applications to directly benefit from hardware improvements for the first time. SAP BusinessObjects Strategic Workforce Planning, version for in-memory computing, leverages the in-memory database and calculation engine, allowing managers to simulate scenarios in real time, analyze complex relationships quickly and see how proposed organizational changes will impact the business. Managers and human resources executives can simulate how their workforce would need to grow and change using predictive modeling. This allows them to make intelligent, data-based decisions about allocating or adjusting staff, for example, as a result of an acquisition or to enter a new market.

Working together with its partner and customer ecosystem, SAP plans in the next year to introduce new applications based on SAP HANA that will help utility companies manage power supply in real time, provide retailers more timely analysis of point-of-sale data and enable more accurate sales pipeline forecasting for all types of companies.

Early Results Generate Excitement Among Customers As part of the co-innovation program, SAP has used data from customers to demonstrate how particular business processes could be improved by SAP HANA, and these customers are already seeing valuable results.

"We participated in the co-innovation program for SAP HANA and saw how SAP in-memory computing can dramatically improve our processes," said Martin Petry, CIO, Hilti Corporation. "Hilti provided over nine million customer records to SAP. By loading these into SAP HANA, it was possible to comb through these records in a matter of seconds, versus the days it took previously to extract them from our data warehouse and SAP Business Suite. We're looking forward to further exploring the transformative impact of SAP in-memory computing on our business."

Customers across the globe are evaluating SAP HANA and recognize the benefits to their organization. As the largest retailer with approximately 1,000 stores across India, Future Group needs real-time visibility into sales data so it can better understand customer insights and plan business accordingly. SAP HANA has the potential to provide instant information about which products are selling, promotions that have been effective and stores that are most effective. In-memory computing from SAP may offer a powerful way for Future Group to analyze customer spending and revenue across its multitude of stores and product lines.

During the customer co-innovation program, SAP HANA achieved ground-breaking performance results that are the basis for a new generation of applications with the potential to significantly improve customers' business:

• Very complex reports and queries against 500 billion point-of-sale records were run in less than one minute, thanks to the unique multi-core processing algorithms. This result was achieved on a system with 10 blades and 32 cores each.

• SAP HANA scales linearly with performance proportional to hardware improvements so in the future customers will be able to deploy systems with 1,000 or more cores that enable complex real-time analytics.

• SAP has mastered massive parallelism for enterprise applications (such as aging) with its in-memory computing engine, harnessing these benefits for business applications.

Gain Powerful Analysis for Financial Management with Clariba Finance Central

Clariba is pleased to announce the release of the Clariba Finance Central demo, which highlights our latest financial management solution powered by SAP BusinessObjects. This BI solution was developed for one of our telco customers but is applicable to any corporate finance department in any industry.

The customer challenge that lead Clariba to develop this financal management solution was two-fold. From an IT perspective, the team spent 2 business days each month downloading information from the Hyperion Financial database and manipulating the data with other spreadsheets to create a set of graphs and tables. These graphs/tables were then copied and pasted in to a PowerPoint for the monthly management pack. The challenge from the business perspective was that the CFO had to wait several days for the information to be prepared and the overall reporting process lacked visual analysis capabilities.

Based on these challenges our customer wanted to consolidate their financial information and access it easily, gain better analysis capabilities (mainly to do with enhancing the visual components and enabling easy comparisons), and automate the financial reporting process to reduce monthly manual efforts and decrease errors. As a result Clariba developed centralized financial information in an easy-to-use dashboard allowing for extended analysis in a highly visual format.

"The Finance Central solution is completely automated, user-friendly and standardized, providing actionable insight to business users of all levels, including the CFO, and it can be adapted to any data source," comments Marc Haberland, CEO and Managing Partner of Clariba.

Clariba Finance Central was developed using several tools in the SAP BusinessObjects stack including: Data Integrator (to consolidate and aggregate the required KPIs in a finance datamart), BusinessObjects universe (with Query as a Web Service) and Xcelsius (for the interactive dashboard).

For more information about the Clariba Finance Central solution or our customized solutions for a variety of industries and functional areas, we invite you to contact us at info@clariba.com.

Spanish Insurance Provider Benefits from BusinessObjects XI Migration

Clariba demonstrates the value of Business Objects XI within Adeslas, a progressive health insurance provider in Spain.

Adeslas, a progressive health insurance provider in Spain, recently engaged Clariba to help them gain rapid and reliable access to policyholder data. The Adeslas Business Objects (BO) Administration team recognized the importance of updating their version of BusinessObjects in order to increase the functionality and productivity of their BI tool. Clariba consultants used their experience gathered in prior migrations to provide a smooth transition to Business Objects XI with minimal impact to the end-user base.

"Clariba understood our BI requirements from the beginning. As a result of their Business Objects expertise, this was the easiest migration we have ever experienced in the IT systems area," says Alberto Sisí, IT Manager at Adeslas. "The project was delivered to the fullest satisfaction of the BO Administration team and end users."

As a result of the migration to BO XI, the Adeslas BO Administration team no longer manually delivers and distributes reports, resulting in immediate ROI. With this migration Adeslas has also achieved integration with their IT platforms and security policies, allowing single sign-on for their users. This seamless integration into the work environment, coupled with Business Objects XI best-in-class reporting capabilities, has had a very positive effect on user satisfaction.

"Our consultants led the effort of transitioning old customized developments to the new platform without the loss of any functionality. This was achieved not by deploying an 'out of the box' installation, but by planning an adapted migration aligned to the customers' expectations," says Marc Haberland, Founder and Managing Partner of Clariba.

The new capabilities of Business Objects XI will allow Adeslas to expand the reach of its business intelligence platform to a wider network of users - something the company is now evaluating for its regional offices.
