<b>SAP Business One Analytics powered by SAP HANA </b><b>Overview</b>

&nbsp;

Decision time frames are shorter than ever today. And as a result, small businesses and midsize   companies need near-instant access to all of their business information and a way to analyze it for fast, informed decision making that drives better business outcomes.

&nbsp;

The SAP Business One application, with analytics powered by the SAP HANA platform, is a breakthrough solution that brings up-to-date data from SAP Business One into local memory for instant, real-time insight into your business. And because the software is designed for ease of use, anyone can create and run custom reports without IT or consulting assistance. This advanced solution enables query response times that are much faster than traditional database technology can deliver. As a result, people can make decisions based on data that is accurate as of the minute, instead of relying on data extracts that are outdated as soon as they are run.

&nbsp;

With analytics offered in SAP Business One, companies get an affordable solution that empowers people to be more productive and informed. For example, they can perform simple to complex data analysis, investigate results more easily, and populate custom spreadsheets and reports with current data – all without IT assistance. Access to prebuilt reports and dashboards, along with freestyle search and intuitive ad hoc reporting functionality, accelerates employee adoption for faster time to value.

&nbsp;

SAP Business One, analytics powered by SAP HANA, is delivered preconfigured and preinstalled on Fujitsu hardware that has been certified by the SAP HANA development support team and is sold separately. There may be additional certified hardware offerings once generally available.

&nbsp;

To run this solution, customers must be on SAP Business One version 8.82 PL04. Upgrades are licensed separately.   Customers must license the same number of named users for SAP Business One, analytics powered by SAP HANA, as they have for SAP Business One.
