The introduction of SAP’s in-memory database HANA had a disruptive impact on the industry. Enterprise applications are adjusted for new programming paradigms while old constraints fall away. The project will rethink the way enterprise applications are designed and how they can be built leveraging new patterns and algorithms for in-memory databases, modern hardware architectures with large amounts of main memory, and multi-core processors. The team will analyze existing business processes and identify areas for optimization. We strive to have a co-innovation like environment with close and frequent contact to partners and customers. With the support of SAP, the chosen business process will be re-thought and the team will implement a prototype application to prove their concept. The prototype will be developed, using modern web technologies and shall run on top of our research prototype HYRISE or SAP’s in-memory database HANA.
