database that is different from the database engines found in today’s market. Application
users are constantly working of making their working environment useful and faster with the
use of this software on their database. Apart from all these work, the software also helps in
the process of storing their data set and consecutively planning their future work and
objectives (Accenture.com, 2017). The software can be used for the process of analytics and
application in the following forms:
Real time analytics is the category of analytics, which the SAP Hana is specialized in
(Canon & Thind, 2016). This helps in providing the user with the development of charts and
analytical data, which would help the organization to understand their progress of work in the
market.

Core process accelerators: Used for the acceleration of business and reporting of the
process in the business with the help of leveraging ERP accelerators, which are in the form of
non-disruptive ways of taking advantage of the technology.
Planning and optimization of applications: The software has an excellent use of the
complex scheduling with the implementation of fast procedures and result declaration (Sikka
et al., 2013). The software can develop solutions at a fast pace which no other software in the
current market can match. These procedures include the use of sales and operational planning
as well as cash forecasting and margin calculation.
Sense and response applications: these are the group of applications, which provide a
real time analysis of the data stored in the application. Data analysis in this software can also
be collected from locations like social media or point of sales data. These involve complex
insight of the organization and the test searches conducted. The sap precision retailing helps
in the understanding of the processes of data intensive and can now be deployed in the
present scenario, which could not be installed in the previous scenario.
Most of the other database management software’s in the market has working criteria
with the help of transaction procedures. With the help of the hybrid structure of the SAP
Hana, it would be helpful for the organizations to work on their database easily.
