How Accurate is the Messaging on the SAP S/4HANA On Premises Roadmap?
ByPrimary Researcher September 2, 2016May 19, 2021

… should be contemplated is that S/4HANA marketing documents are not necessarily designed to be true but to sell S/4HANA.
That is why much of the S/4HANA material will seem strange to an experienced implementer.
SAP has teams of people who go around trying to pump up SAP partners on HANA, who, in turn, relay the message to their prospects. This group never implements software; they are compensated on how well they can convince people of this or that future. So their material tends to be quite divorced from reality, and it is the same material that will …

Why SAP Will Have to Backtrack on S/4 on HANA Database
ByPrimary Researcher August 22, 2016May 7, 2022

… a leader at SAP. Therefore a paper written by Hasso is not merely a standard paper in computer science. It is written by someone trying to sell people on the HANA database. His objectivity on the topic is non-existent.
Hasso has an enormous financial bias that a typical Ph.D. in computer science does not have. Also, the paper leaves out so many other aspects that are necessary to the decision among different databases.
Like Drinking Kool-Aid?

So many SAP partners and independent consultants have served as an echo chamber for proposals made about HANA, all of it

What SAP Moving to the SAP HANA Cloud Means
ByPrimary Researcher August 21, 2016May 10, 2021

… because SAP is both telling customers that the backend is critical to be emphasized while promoting the idea of moving to the cloud, where the backend disappears into the background. Or, more correctly becomes a service managed by the software vendor or some infrastructure partner like Amazon Web Services.
How Hosted Solutions Work
SaaS/cloud solution providers work fundamentally differently from on-premises vendors. The arrangements change, and the model is subscription based so that the upfront costs are far lower.
Let me provide an example. I use a web host for this website. Occasionally I run into a …

Is the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Designed for Cloud Washing?

… connected to the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.
All hosting services are provided by SAP
Because SAP is hosting the free SAP HANA Cloud Platform, SAP will host every resource, every database, and every SAP application that the SAP HANA Cloud Platform interacts with? I don’t think so. Third-party partners or AWS mostly carry out the hosting that is performed for SAP products. Most customers will not choose to host with SAP because SAP’s hosting is not competitive. SAP also has a small hosting capacity. If SAP truly intends to restrict the SAP HANA Cloud Platform to only …

Analysis of Steve Lucas' Article on What Oracle Won't Tell You About HANA
ByPrimary Researcher July 24, 2016March 2, 2021

… I know of several instances where HANA was unable to meet different customers’ expectations, but this did not seem to make it to the SAP website.
SAP’s History with TCO Claims
Second, SAP never estimates TCO. TCO calculators of various SAP applications and non-SAP applications are available for free at the following link. In each of the application categories where SAP had an application, SAP came out as the highest TCO. SAP’s high TCO is why they have so many consulting partners. Deloitte, Accenture, and IBM, and others build their consulting practices around SAP for precisely why

… ERP system module without getting the rest of it to connect to. With what I will explain, S/4 Simple Finance is now stranded due to development issues at SAP with the remainder of the S/4 suite.
Simple Simple Simple!
At SAP conferences, SAP and partners drove the concept of simple into the dirt. Each partner seemed to have worked into their catchphrase. For a while, there everything was “simple,” and a lot of people who had never worked with the software, or had but had forgotten how it worked, were running around saying how simple everything was …

Which is Faster HANA or Oracle 12C?
ByPrimary Researcher April 9, 2016January 24, 2024

… allow fair competition against Oracle or other databases because SAP knows it will lose. SAP is both the gunfighter in this scenario and the entity supervising the gunfight, as it is the certifying entity. SAP also has the power to block any database provider from publishing any benchmark under the partnership agreement.
The Fastest Database in the West (HANA vs. Oracle)?
Evidence is building that HANA is not the speed champion that SAP says it is. One of the primary performance weaknesses of HANA is very rarely addressed. As a column-based database, HANA is not the correct database design …

SAP APO’s Massive and Unruly Footprint
This topic cuts two ways. First, there are many modules in APO that have failed in the market.
The Non-Functional APO Modules
These include EWM, SPP, SNC, PP/DS, and TM. Implementing these modules has cost customers mightily, but the failed implementations are hidden within these companies. At this point, the only companies implementing these modules are out of it customers being misled by SAP consulting partners about each module’s implementation history and selected by customers who lack the IT decision makers to …

… the APO suite. SAP is the largest enterprise (i.e., corporate) software company globally, with revenues close to $13 billion. The PP/DS product was introduced in roughly 1999, and I believe based on i2 Technologies’ Factory Planner product, which was one of the benefits which SAP received from their partnership, albeit brief with i2 back in the late 1990s. a
PP/DS provides both a cost optimizer (which is very rarely implemented) and both production planning and detailed scheduling heuristics. There are heuristics both for the initial planning run and for capacity leveling.
