6. SAP BW/4HANA

SAP is shipping BW/4HANA, the next generation of its Business Warehouse software specifically designed to run on the vendor's HANA in-memory database system. BW/4HANA works with data that companies have stored in multiple locations, including in on-premise and cloud systems. BW/4HANA can "consume" data warehouse objects in the SAP BusinessObjects Cloud and has built-in connectivity to the SAP Digital Boardroom portal.
