No kidding, where I worked (fortune 500) they started to move to HANA, that drove me out :)

At my age, I was done doing 24/7 that it would take to get it installed before S/3 licenses expired.

Last I heard the company was going to pay millions more to keep using S/3 because they realized HANA would not be active in time.

I do not know the status now, but I know cost in real $ will be an awful lot. The thing that is interesting with HANA you now need to use an SAP D/B, no more dog fooding using your database (oracle, DB/2 ...) which you sell to customers.

If I was in charge, I would go to SAP and say, unless we get huge relief on the cost, we will move to another ERP. I would have had this search active before looking at HANA.

I know Workday is working overtime on this. I’m sure Oracle and others are too.

SAP is giving companies a reason to switch and that’s always a scary moment.
