SAP and Birst team up to deliver cloud analytics for the enterprise
Enterprise software specialist SAP has announced a partnership with business intelligence company Birst to deliver faster analytics on the SAP HANA cloud platform.
The tie up will allow organizations to use a single cloud platform which can deliver instant analytics giving managers the ability to more quickly turn insight into action. It brings together SAP's next-generation cloud platform and Birst's comprehensive two-tier data architecture to provide instant access to business data.
"Driving better business execution and enabling each and every organization to become data-driven is only achievable when leaders come together to innovate and achieve something that solves real business problems, and that is exactly what Birst and SAP plan to do," says Brad Peters, chairman and chief product officer at Birst. "The real opportunity in BI lies in our ability to push data to the front lines, empowering every person to make every decision better. Together, SAP and Birst will give customers instant access to data and allow people to turn insight into action -- that's something today's businesses have been waiting for and we are thrilled to be delivering it".
The SAP HANA Cloud Platform is based on a breakthrough in-memory technology and offers an open platform for customers and developers to build, extend and run applications in the cloud.
Birst's patented analytics engine aims to build a user-ready data store in SAP HANA that can deliver visual discovery, dashboards and enterprise reports across a single business model, accelerated by SAP HANA. By combining the two this solution is designed to offer instant analytics across on-premise and cloud data sources from large-scale data source vendors.
