Forrester’s assessment: “SAP’s focus is on real-time analytics, security and integration. Companies are using SAP HANA for in-memory-based data marts and implementing data warehouse solutions with SAP BW/4HANA that integrate with various data sources, including other data warehouses such as SAP IQ. The SAP Data Warehouse Cloud solution, announced in May 2019, also provides companies with analytical and user-focused data warehousing as a service tailored to business and IT departments. By orchestrating disparate data sources and maintaining the security, trustworthiness and semantic richness of information, SAP Data Warehouse Cloud can deliver business-critical information faster. Preconfigured adapters provide instant access to application data.”
