“SAP HANA, express edition, allows many developers to experience the power of in-memory-based applications for the first time,” said Cindy Jutras, president, Mint Jutras. “The new easy-to-consume model via the cloud or PC and free entry point make a very attractive offering from SAP. Now companies such as small-to-medium-size enterprises have access to a data management and app development platform that has traditionally been used by large enterprises.”
Build Next-Generation, Data-Driven Applications Fast
SAP HANA, express edition, delivers database, application and advanced analytics services in a single platform. Developers can build applications that use SAP HANA to perform transactional and analytical processing against a single copy of data for real-time insights from structured and unstructured data types, such as text, spatial and graphical data.
“Today’s fast-paced digital economy requires businesses to be extremely agile, with the ability to gain unlimited knowledge from any data type and data source located inside or outside the company,” said Irfan Khan, GM and global head, database and data management, SAP. “SAP HANA, express edition, is easy to download and free of charge so developers can quickly start building powerful, modern applications using their programming language of choice rather than managing complex IT frameworks and infrastructures.”
