This year I had planned to change all my infrastructure
around all SAP landscape, when we put it on budget and plan it last year the
HANA picture was only clear to the BW/BPC system.
Today, after the last events on February and also the very positive
experience of a two cycle PoC with BW/BPC is raising us lot of doubts whether
should we migrate all SAP landscape to HANA or not?
Off course there are lots of advantages with HANA also some disadvantages
and/or risk if we decide to choose this path.
From Technical Architecture level, it’s something that I would embrace with
optimist, nevertheless what really concerns me is the day after all Go-Live
when all our landscape is running HANA and we’ve to maintain all landscape in a
database that is live less than 5 years.
It’s true that every day the statement from SAP AG is that the line of the
most interesting new features will be only on this database platform, but in
productive there’s too little references (removing all the PoC) from customers
that have migrate all their SAP landscape and not just BW/BPC or even the ERP.
