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.
