significantly speeds up data analysis and gives users the
information they need, right at their fingertips.
Fujitsu is dedicated to helping enterprises explore
the potential benefits that SAP HANA can offer (see
sidebar). For example, the Fujitsu SAP HANA Global
Demo Center represents a powerful environment,
based on Fujitsu PRIMERGY server technology, that
can be used remotely to get a vivid inside look at the
practical uses and capabilities of SAP HANA. The center’s live demos — including typical business scenarios
like SAP profitability analysis, sales analysis, and market basket analysis/association analysis (often used in
the retail industry) — show how SAP HANA helps to
analyze massive amounts of data and provide information in real time. This pragmatic approach is designed
to inspire companies to explore areas in which slow
data access today prevents them from getting results
for informed decisions and immediate action.
