HANA is Not Useless?
“That is not to say that anyone’s ABAP or HANA skills are useless. Consider that more than 425,000 companies in more than 180 countries use SAP, most of those have not yet moved their SAP ERP systems to the cloud. If SAP no longer needs all of its ABAP and HANA talent, there are plenty of jobs and/or consulting assignments to be had. In the US alone, Indeed.com lists 1,183 jobs available for ABAP developers and 3,157 for HANA developers. LinkedIn …

Brightwork Advisory Note: A Change in SAP Development Strategy
ByPrimary Researcher March 17, 2019May 20, 2021

… practically impossible to build services. Cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) are distributed, multi-tenant, loosely-coupled, API-driven, independently, and horizontally scaled. Monoliths are massive, centralized, single-tenant, tightly-integrated, vertically-scaled systems. SAP HANA and Leonardo are examples of how this monolithic development mindset handicapped SAP’s cloud transition.
HANA was born as a specialized OLAP appliance. Later, the product included an OLTP database, an application development platform, and an application server supporting the world’s most sophisticated ERP application suite.

Can you imagine the complexity of making the smallest development decisions for a product with this …

Will SAP Acquire Teradata to Extinguish the Lawsuit?
ByPrimary Researcher March 16, 2019April 21, 2023

… the judge should flesh out during the case. The assumption made clear by this statement is that Teradata should not offer only analytical/database products to compete with SAP but needs to develop its own ERP system. This fits within the construct that SAP finds appealing, which is that the ERP vendor should control the entire account. And it is an inherently anticompetitive assumption. Most curious is that SAP does not even appear to realize how this exposes them as monopolistic in their thought processes. That is not supposed to be the assumption of ERP systems. ERP vendors are entitled …

Why is Brightwork Better than Gartner or Forrester?
ByPrimary Researcher March 15, 2019February 23, 2021

… showed an average implementation cost of $870,000. Which is curious, as we have multiple data points showing $500 million implementations. Our TCO calculators for ECC (the precursor to S/4HANA) show no possible situation for a sub $1 million implementation as we covered in Enterprise Software TCO Calculator – SAP ERP/ECC/R/3. Forrester accepted only three projects from SAP to base the entire study on.
This is for a product that supposedly has 2000 live deployments. Odd, isn’t it? However, you can read our analysis here How to Understand Forrester’s Fake S/4HANA TCO Study.

A HANA Performance and HANA on Azure Case Study
ByPrimary Researcher March 15, 2019May 10, 2021

Executive Summary

SAP has made enormous claims around HANA, but data points from the field contradict these claims.
In this article, we cover one of these case studies.

Video Introduction: A HANA Performance and HANA on Azure Case Study
https://youtu.be/5PiaelfNXm4
Text Introduction (Skip if You Watched the Video)
We have covered in the article, How Accurate Was SAP on HANA Being a Perfect Fit for ERP?, that HANA is a poor fit for ERP systems because it is weak in transaction processing performance. However, transaction processing is most of what an ERP system does. However, we now …

Is Hasso Plattner and SAP Correct About Database Aggregates?
ByPrimary Researcher March 14, 2019March 3, 2021

… SAP marketing flim flam. This argument has already been broken into pieces.”

The Purposes of Aggregates in SAP
Aggregates had an additional purpose in SAP, which Rolf Paulson explains.
“Performance is one reason for the need of aggregates, but this is only needed for large tables. Many aggregates in SAP ERP exists because you simply cannot define aggregate views like SELECT SUM(…) FROM sales order GROUP BY department. Even if you have a table with let’s say several 1000 rows that any database just can aggregate on the fly and you want to show aggregates in a data grid …

The Problems with the Strange Lenovo HANA Benchmark

… the result is 21% of the existing transactions having slower performance.
Analytics on S/4HANA?
Now one could construct a scenario where a bunch of analytics is performed in ECC/S/4HANA. SAP has stated this as their vision. The concept is that all analytics would be performed inside the ERP system.

This is compared against an older version of most likely either Oracle or DB2, which did not have the multimodel capability (that is, column-oriented with row-oriented). However, why are any of the analytic scores slower than the older database versions?

Observations from the field show HANA …

Why Did SAP Stop Reporting HANA Numbers After 2015?

… found this repeatedly in the S/4HANA space, where again, many customers of S/4HANA, particularly S/4HANA cloud, were SAP consulting firms.

Notice anything curious about the customers listed on this slide for S/4HANA? Why are so many customers SAP consulting firms? Do SAP consulting firms need an ERP system? Dickinson & Associates is not even a consulting firm; they are SAP recruiters. Recruiters require ERP systems now?
A representative from Dickinson & Associates debated me as to the benefits of S/4HANA for customers. It does not get any lower than discussing a recruiter as to what is technically …

What is the Problem with Information About Indirect Access?
ByPrimary Researcher March 6, 2019May 7, 2022

… said Robert Enslin, president of the Cloud Business Group, SAP.
Once S/4HANA Cloud matures, there will finally be a viable way to think about the two products together, with S/4HANA Cloud serving large enterprise and ByDesign as a cloud ERP midmarket and subsidiary play. But you can expect confusion and misconceptions to continue until S/4HANA Cloud is totally focused on large enterprise (the two customers we filmed here were smaller, and could also have worked on ByDesign in my view). Update: if it plays out this way, it will be comparable to Oracle’s two tier …

Is it Really Easy to Point Fingers at SAP?
ByPrimary Researcher March 2, 2019February 24, 2021

“Easy to point fingers,now what? Name one mega ERP provider, there are major disasters associated with it…from SAP to workday. Two sides of the coin..three in this case: Software developer, SI and customer. SAP has brilliant minds, I am lucky to know many, but SAP does not own the customers’ processes. Deloitte abounds best consultants, I …
