SAP is launching a bevy of cloud services for its HANA platform with an aim of being a native data hub for its applications as well as others.
In a nutshell, SAP sees HANA and applications such as S4/HANA and C4/HANA as a way to provide one source of the truth, manage data and ultimately tie together enterprise applications and clouds.
“This is a directional change around data management and the evolution of HANA as well as SAP cloud services,” said Irfan Khan, SAP President of Platform. “HANA becomes an access point to virtualized data.”
