The global and independent platform for the SAP community.

SAP solution: In-memory computing

If you are reading this E-3 Newsletter, the E-3 Magazine February 2020 is also online (PDF download for registered users).
SAP engineers and Hana database managers are currently discussing one topic intensively: the relationship between classic DRAM and "Optane".
Please read on, because this is not about SAP's S/4 Damocles 2025, but about the technical version change of your database.
Once again this year, there was no peace offering from SAP to existing customers at the DSAG Annual Congress in Leipzig. The "ERP Firewall" 2025 still applies for the ultimate switch to S/4. A challenge for the global SAP community that is hardly manageable?
When the buzzword "game changer" was far from invented, the five SAP founders revolutionized the business IT world - that was definitely game-changing: completely without hardware, software and middleware! Today, a technical evolution is already a game changer - you do Hana a great injustice.
With the addition of SAP Hana to its portfolio, Rimini Street now offers support for a total of twelve SAP and Oracle product lines, representing the broadest independent service offering in the enterprise software market.
There's no question about it: SAP software licensing is complex, and many companies still lack the right approach to SAP license management. Often, they are simply overwhelmed with the requirements.
SAP Release Note 2218464 Version 31 from May 11 of this year brings redemption - SoH is released for IBM Power. After BW, there is now also a powerful alternative to Xeon for the Business Suite.
SAP supports personalized medicine with a completely new product line based on Hana. Insights from Big Data are to enable the targeted individual treatment of patients.
When using Hana and S/4, data center managers have to align their IT infrastructure in such a way that the departments can implement new business cases as quickly as possible. Fujitsu provides a future-proof and compatible platform with Primeflex for SAP Landscapes including Flexframe Orchestrator.
CIOs complained to E-3 Magazine regarding the complexity and stability of Hana and are considering HEC. Things have not gotten better with Hana Service Pack 10.
Object-oriented programming is modern and there is no alternative for the growing demand for mobility. Now the experienced Abap trainer Alexander Maetzing has spoken on the subject of Abap Objects, about future viability, advantages and how to learn the new language easily and effectively.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
