SAP Speeds Finance Tools to Bolster Hana’s Appeal Against Oracle
This article is for subscribers only.
SAP AG, the largest maker of business-management software, is speeding up its software to attract more customers to its Hana database, which competes against Oracle Corp. products.
SAP introduced what it calls “simplified” financial applications to help businesses view cash positions, make forecasts and plan for events such as bad weather or closed shipping routes using the most current data. SAP will initially target its Simple Finance software and Fiori user interface at large companies that want to use Hana to process more information in real time rather than overnight batches.
