Customer testimonials Customer situation identified. Benefits OSRAM/Preh The analysis is a great help. It confirmed our decision to implement SAP HANA. Customer opinion The decision to purchase the SAP HANA appliance for BW was already made. Maybe we can import the critical tables to the appliance and use a combination of both. Application of results Preparation for SAP HANA implementation Database tuning Now we can go to our business department and tell them which transactions we could accelerate with SAP HANA, and do a cost-benefit analysis. It s a good idea to repeat the analysis quarterly to catch bottlenecks and see whether improvements can be made. Customer assessment of results The analysis is consistent. SAP HANA or not, the analysis offers a user-friendly alternative to SAP s Early Watch Report. Features especially helpful The analysis is highly informative. It shows you, say, which transactions take longer than x seconds to respond. The type of analysis and the app s look and feel are impressive. I look forward to familiarizing myself with what all the app can do. I ve already spotted a number of enticing features. The Top 10 lists are a great asset 38
