SAP HANA is the most talked about SAP innovation in recent times. All SAP products are moving to SAP HANA but do you know what SAP HANA is or what it does?
Vishal Sikka, Member of the SAP Executive Board, invites you to join him in this special edition openSAP course. Starting with the idea and need for SAP HANA to be created, Vishal explains life before SAP HANA and how SAP HANA can help SAP’s customers to run better.

This course is aimed at anyone interested in learning about SAP HANA. You don’t need to have any technical knowledge to understand the concept of SAP HANA in this overview as explained easily and informally by Vishal.
After the course, you will have an understanding of how SAP HANA works, how quickly it can perform tasks and how it has helped existing SAP customers.
This is a special edition openSAP course as your total learning time will be just two to three hours and all content is already available. The course is broken down into five units consisting of nine videos with self-tests for you to complete after each section. Your results will not be saved; they are just for your personal use. At the end of the course, there is a course assignment. You can take the assignment at any time, but be sure to submit by Monday April 14, 10pm Central European Summer Time (CEST). If you successfully answer the course assignment, you will receive a Record of Achievement.
The online discussion forum will be available for you to collaborate with other learners and SAP HANA experts. The forum will be monitored by experts from March 17 through to April 14. After this time, you can still access the course content but you will not be able to reply to or create new discussions within the forum.
You don’t need to complete the course in one sitting, feel free to dip in when you have a spare ten minutes to complete the next unit and learn about this exciting SAP innovation.
