About the Book

Implement SAP HANA as a standalone data warehouse
Integrate SAP Data Services and the SAP BusinessObjects BI tools with SAP HANA
Benefit from step-by-step instructions, technical details, and downloadable data for every step
In the new SAP HANA era, processes that once took weeks now take days, hours, or even minutes. Truly take advantage of this bold jump forward with this resource for a standalone SAP HANA implementation. Master data loading with SAP Data Services, data modeling in SAP HANA, and then SAP HANA integration with SAP BusinessObjects BI for reporting and analytics. From general concepts to specific implementation steps and a real-world case study, this book offers the practical details about implementing SAP HANA that will shift your system into high gear.

Data Storage
See how SAP HANA has fundamentally changed data storage with column store tables that improve compression and, consequently, performance.

SAP Data Services
Avoid “fast trash.” Preprovision your data using source system analysis, profiling tools, and mapping to load high-quality data into SAP HANA.

SAP HANA Studio
Dive into SAP HANA-specific data modelling components like the attribute, analytic, and calculation views that produce quality multidimensional models.

Connecting SAP HANA with BI
Deliver sophisticated data visualization and analysis by integrating SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio, SAP Lumira, SAP Predictive Analysis, and more with SAP HANA.

Hands-On Case Study
Take SAP HANA for a test drive. Download the data for the fictitious AdventureWorks Cycle Company’s implementation and follow along every step of the way.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
