This one brings great application and analytics improvements that will challenge many legacy IT architectures to also step up in ways they weren't originally designed to address. We may see a significant need to reassess/redesign strategic platforms and infrastructures, even as a base enabler, for best realization of SAP HANA capabilities. We'll be challenged to help our clients know just where to "tweak", where to upgrade/add, and where to start fresh, and in what sequence. What I'll be looking for from these early HANA pilot installations are guidelines and metrics, from actual implementations, on what kind of infrastructure changes are required, or recommended; what kind of costs and lead times should we plan for; and what kind of migration road maps are most practical to help our clients "get there" with least disruption and best results, with a real plan. I am looking for these pilot efforts to begin providing this kind of information for us soon, as we are already talking to clients about moving forward. I'll certainly share whatever I begin to pick up along the way, too. Ken Dennis,

Information is just emerging about sizing and architectural considerations. Some decent information can be found in the SAP HANA Technical Operations Manual (http://help.sap.com/hana/hana1_tom_en.pdf). Some very good blogs can be found listed in my blog at http://dbmoore.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-favorite-sap-hana-blogs.html . Vijay, Vitaliy, and John Appleby have some good experience in the topic. You'll certainly hear some good sessions at SAPPHIRENOW this May. I saw several great presentations from SAP TechEd online at http://www.sapvirtualevents.com/teched/Sessions.aspx?category=sessiontype&code=Lectures&NavId=10 . I especially liked http://www.sapvirtualevents.com/TechEd/sessiondetails.aspx?sId=132, http://www.sapvirtualevents.com/TechEd/sessiondetails.aspx?sId=124, and http://www.sapvirtualevents.com/TechEd/sessiondetails.aspx?sId=146 .

Question: when we all talk to our clients about SAP HANA, most will be at least eager to know more, some will want to move quickly in this direction. The very next questions will get into specifics around architecture changes (which I see discussed mostly here), then right into real budget issues to make this real for them ... and this info is still very rough, even now. But, one area that still seems very hard to get discussion on is the actual impacts to existing IT infrastructures ... servers, networks, core designs, reconfigurations, systems management challenges, performance monitors for this kind of environment, migration priorities, ... on and on. Do you see this area being a significant part of the challenges for implementing HANA effectively? I realize there are already some certified platform vendors lined up, but even they aren't putting out much information on exactly what needs to be tackled and in what order for an effective HANA leverage. Can you share your thoughts in this area too, or offer some additional helpful sources/links for this type of information. Thank you, again. Great article and dialogue here – thanks for sharing so openly.

]]> Comment on Coupa and Ariba — Analyzing Competitive Claims (Part 3) by Cris Tagayun http://www.enterpriseirregulars.com/14542/coupa-and-ariba-analyzing-competitive-claims-part-3/#comment-23013 Cris Tagayun Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:38:57 +0000 http://www.spendmatters.com/index.cfm/2010/3/9/Coupa-and-Ariba--Analyzing-Competitive-Claims-Part-3#comment-23013 Hi Jason, I'm Cris from the Philippines and experienced in marketing and selling ARIBA here in our country through a partnership with a company where I used to be employed. My interest have grown in spend management after my stint with my previous employer offering ARIBA spend management to different companies (averaging to >100M USD). One of our challenges is the high cost of the solution, and the awareness of different industries here. One of the concepts I have in mind is to develop an ARIBA-like look-and-feel (end to end solution). Second is to partner with another spend management company like Coupa and introduce it here in the Philippines. Question is, which one do you think would be the most wise option should I choose? What are the most important things I should have both; in developing the solution, and partnering with another solution provider? I need to know both pros and cons before I make a decision. Hope you can help. Thank you in advance, and more power. Cris Hi Jason,
