- Workload Management
- Update / conversion to SAP S/4HANA 2023 (Prerequisite min. HANA SPS7!)

We prepare the way for you with a stable basis based on our best practice and best experience approaches. This also includes security-relevant aspects such as password policies and auditing.
Plan your upgrade, migration or conversion in the context of HANA now.

The databases grow unstoppably without a data tiering concept. With the knowledge from past NSE projects, we can create a strategy tailored to your system. Practice shows that an increase in resources can sometimes be postponed by 1-2 years.
