SAP Solution: DB2

The SAP Hana database is unbeatable because it cannot be compared.

Regardless of which AnyDB SAP customers have to migrate to Hana, everyone benefits from a Linux bonus pack.

For SAP CFO Luka Mucic, it must have been an eerie déjà vu: Once again, more SAP employees want to leave the company with an acceptable severance package than Mucic and SAP CEO McDermott had planned. It was a similar story last time: SAP employees saw the fair offer as a chance to take stock of the situation and to appreciate SAP's challenging work environment....

Which Hana version will cross the finish line in 2025? Hana is a brilliant construction site. If there is no fatal error and kernel panic, SAP will surprise you with Persistent Memory.

It would be appealing: to take over SAP's production goods and no longer pay a maintenance fee. But wouldn't a clear separation of tasks make even more sense?

With clever moves, SAP lures its existing customers into an inescapable dependency. An oligarchy becomes an ERP, database and cloud monopoly.

For companies to be able to develop and test digital offerings under realistic conditions, they need real information assets as a basis, i.e., productive data from SAP systems. In practice, however, administrators will hesitate to copy complete production data sets.

Peri, a manufacturer of formwork and scaffolding, implements SAP system copy creation of SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and Hana-based applications uniformly with an automation solution.

During the on-Hana system changeover, existing SAP customers with generated custom code are required to scrutinize and adapt this program data. Automation helps with this architecture-related therapy.

The Junghans Group, which includes the mail order companies Pro-Idee and Junghans Wollversand, chose the services of BasisTeam from Bochum for the SAP migration to DB2 and achieved a database migration with minimal downtime.

The company is taking giant steps and moving very purposefully in the direction of Hana and S/4. This impression was confirmed once again at Sapphire, which took place in Orlando in mid-May 2016. Hasso Plattner personally emphasized that SAP Business Suite will of course be further developed.

With S/4, SAP has launched an ambitious ERP project. Everything is new, so SAP does not want it to be understood as a successor to ECC 6.0. Scheer CEO Josef Bommersbach provides information about the requirements, tasks and plans in an E-3 interview.
