There’s good business news for companies that do not have a business intelligence (BI) infrastructure in place. SAP has launched real-time data analytics in the cloud, by providing freedom to analyze data at lower cost with SAP® BusinessObjects™ BI OnDemand solution, powered by SAP HANA™.
This solution allows companies to quickly and cost-effectively perform detailed real-time analysis of any data, including data from on-demand solutions. I am sure, most companies would be more than happy to adopt a solution like this, which not only fulfils their most important technology requirement, but also saves money.
The announcement was made at SAP® TechEd 2011, being held in Bangalore, India, October 19-21.
As the company release says, reporting and ad hoc yet detailed analyses are definitely a challenge for casual users and companies, more so for SMBs that do not have a BI infrastructure. It is also a challenge for companies using on-demand applications.
