SAP NetWeaver BW: Powered by SAP HANA Customer Success
PresenterPresentation NotesThis is a summary of customer case studies which can be shared, as of June 2011. This material was created using approved customer quotes sourced from the SAPPHIRE NOW 2011 HANA press announcement and the in-memory reference videos currently hosted at http://www.youtube.com/user/SAPBusinessObjects. Customer quotes in these slides cannot be altered in any way without additional approvals.
The goal in producing this deck was to provide alternate customer examples which can be used in the SAP HANA / in-memory computing overview presentation in spotlight. This gives the SAP sales team more flexibility to showcase customers in a specific industry or region, instead of the default customers in the spotlight presentation.
These customer stories represent successes with the SAP HANA appliance for business analytics, as well as new in-memory applications, powered by SAP HANA.

SAP NetWeaver BW on SAP HANA Merit Energy
Project scope and business scenario
Merit Energy is one of the largest privately held oil and gas companies in the world. They purchased BW on HANA in Q4 2011 and implemented a BW on HANA pilot system that is running next to their production BW on Oracle system. They are feeding delta loads from their production ECC environment to both BW on Oracle and BW on HANA.
Performance and benefits
DSO Activation Biggest DSO is for FI-GL line items with nearly 1 billion rows of active data. From ECC, loaded 1 million+ rows of delta data into the FI-GL DSO. On Oracle, the activation took 588 seconds. With BW on HANA, the activation took 14 seconds! 42x Improvement.
Data Loading Loading 14 million rows of data into an InfoCube for Lease Operating System data took 37 minutes in the Oracle based BW system. With BW on HANA, the In Memory Optimized InfoCube with no Dimension ID lookups took only 12 minutes for a 3x improvement.
Infocube Compression The Lease Operating System InfoCube was 64.66 GB. With BW on HANA the same cube was only 19.32 GB for 3x compression. I am able to access the lowest level of detail in our General Ledger DSO and the performance is incredible. Using the intuitive, Excel-based Analysis Office Interface I can navigate through 1 billion records in 10 seconds or less per navigation.

Subodh Dubey, Group CIO, USHA
PresenterPresentation NotesFrom sewing machines to ceiling fans, USHA International Limited has products in almost every household in India. USHA wants to continue building on this success with timely, market-driven business decisions. But just as Indias demand for consumer products has grown, so has the complexity of running a business that spans a nation of more than 1.2 billion people. To remain ahead of the competition, USHA needed full visibility across this widespread supply chain and the ability to respond rapidly to changing market demands. It also needed faster performance from a business warehouse that had been growing by more than 20% annually in recent years.We have a lot of business data, says Subodh Dubey, Group CIO at USHA International Limited. Yet to take full advantage of this resource, we need high-performance business analytics as well. That means faster data loads and faster query response times. Thats why we chose SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA to enable lightning-quick data analysis.USHA worked closely with SAP Consulting and SAP Enterprise Support services throughout the implementation process. This partnership helped USHA complete the entire rollout in only four weeks. Today, USHA is using SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA to gain faster insights and support more effective decision making in operations such as supply chain, procurement, finance, and sales.SAP HANA has significantly improved performance in terms of better data compression, faster data loads, and reduced query response timesenabling USHA to maximize the value of its business data. The ability to quickly analyze secondary sales data and check progress against monthly sales also helps the sales force achieve established targets. Reports on cash-flow and daily sales are now available at the click of a button, added Dubey, and for the first time we have sales visibility down to individual SKU and regional levels.
As we have an international operation, we needed a robust, flexible and reliable that can support our growth. SAP Business One provided all this. It works for us, warning us of what is outside of our business rules. The system allows to automaticallytrack theproduction,from plantingto harvestand to give all legal requirements to the Ministry ofAgriculture.

SAP NetWeaver BW on SAP HANA Southern California Edison
Business Challenges Better understand consumption behavior, optimize
campaign effectiveness, and improve customer energy efficiency
Poor decision making on service outage, power procurement and requirement forecasting due to slow reporting
Technical Challenge Need to have real-time access and insight into huge
volume of continually changing electric usage data (~2 TB)
Benefits Predictive Analysis focused around forecasting outages,
analyzing usage patterns, and evaluating costs help:
better match supply to demand
keep operating costs in check
provide the most reliable service possible to customers
Better Power Procurement - purchase energy on the spot to accommodate peak usage times
Faster back-ups and restores, easier management and efficiency for IT, and lower data storage hardware costs
SAP NetWeaver BW Powered by SAP HANA helps SCE run better!
Faster data loading Earlier, production BW loads took about 15 hours each night,; with SAP HANA it took about 3 hours 5 x faster,
Faster reporting average reporting time on SAP BW: 90 seconds; SAP BW on HANA: 6.4 sec. 14x faster
Faster CRM queries with a nearly 75% reduction in response times, from about 23 seconds to 6 seconds.
Greater Data compression from the current BW DB2 production environment to BW powered by HANA: 7.5x
PresenterPresentation NotesSouthern California Edison is one of the larger electric utilities in North America. In operation for over 120 years, we serve 14 million customers in a 50,000 square-mile area of central, coastal, and Southern California, including 180 cities
1. For Outage Management our goal is to reduce response times and outage costs, increase customer satisfaction, and quickly analyze up-to-date outage information. An example for us was a recent windstorm in Southern California which caused numerous outage areas and took some time to put back online. If we had the data in a system such as HANA, we may have been able to respond much faster in deploying teams and identifying solutions.
2. Power procurement is a critical function at Southern California Edison. Opportunities to purchase energy on the spot market to accommodate peak usage times must be taken on very short notice. The information and calculations to support these decisions could be obtained much more quickly using SAP HANA with its high-speed memory, massively parallel processors, and built-in calculation functions.
3. Predictive Analysis is an important field at Southern California Edison focusing around forecasting outages, analyzing usage patterns, and evaluating costs. With SAP HANA we can develop better customer segmentation models and do rapid analysis with advanced statistical models, based on extremely large amounts of data. In that way, we can better match supply to demand, keep our operating costs in check, and provide the most reliable service possible to our customers.
4. With Smart Meter Analytics powered by SAP HANA, we see opportunities to better understand consumption behavior, optimize campaign effectiveness, and improve customer energy efficiency. For example, on hot summer afternoons when demand soars, we could test different incentives to customers for turning off the air conditioning and quickly see the results with granularity.
