Automation Ensures Success for Enterprise ProjectsSAP HANA® & Big Data:

The Need for QualityBig Data is becoming increasingly important as companies look to gain insight from mountains of data covering all aspects of the enterprise. The promise is compelling – better decision-making and competitive advantage from previously untapped information sources. As real time analytics drive tens of thousands of these decisions on a daily basis, ensuring data accuracy is an imperative, as is the need to ensure critical business processes are not disrupted as these new technologies are introduced.

SAP’s solution for Big Data is SAP HANA, an in-memory platform that helps companies acquire and analyze business data stored inside and outside the walls of a company. An effective long-term Big Data strategy based on SAP HANA entails dealing with the “3 V’s” of Big Data: volume, variety and velocity. It also means dealing with the complex integration and transformation of multiple IT projects.

Ensuring business process integrity and data accuracy in a high change environment requires that both data and business processes are checked for accuracy at a frequency that corresponds to the pace of information flow. That means fast!

Accelerating SAP HANA Projects with Automation While manual testing may once have worked to ensure the quality of systems and data, it is impractical and cost prohibitive in the age of Big Data. Using software to automate business process discovery and validation across complex packaged enterprise applications has become the new standard, allowing companies to focus on the more strategic aspects of a Big Data project.

Worksoft provides the ideal platform to meet these needs. With high levels of automation, companies can shorten project timelines, avoid business disruption and have confidence that their processes and decision-making are based on sound information.
