SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA is finally here. This core part of SAP’s intellectual renewal means companies of all shapes and sizes have the ability to run mission critical business processes in real-time, or “just-in- time” as Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP Executive Board told attendees during a global launch event held yesterday across Palo Alto, Frankfurt and New York.
