The IT, the digital core of the company and its supporting infrastructure are key for the success of the company and will become increasingly important. IT systems, in particular in production and distribution organizations, need to meet requirements of advancements in digitalization and the resulting demand for Big Data platforms and the Internet of Things (IoT). Supply Chain IT Challenges The complexity of the business and logistics networks of today places great demands on the supply chain and the associated IT systems. The system architectures of tomorrow will differ fundamentally from those of today, in order to cope with the increasing complexity of supply chain processes and the exponential growth of events, transactions and data. In order to meet these challenges, future supply chain IT systems need to be highly scalable, process huge volumes of data almost in real time and use Big Data technologies to support the transfer of data across platforms and advanced analyses. What is SAP HANA? In order to overcome these challenges, SAP has redesigned its system architecture, starting with the database – one of the key enabling technologies for IT systems in companies. SAP HANA (High-Performance Analytic Appliance) is an application which uses in-memory database technology in order to process huge volumes of data almost in real time. This makes it possible for the application to provide immediate results and data-driven insights across the company.
