You start by understanding how SAP HANA works — its in-memory architecture, real-time processing, and why it replaced traditional database systems. From there, the course moves into SAP BW/4HANA, showing how SAP’s Business Warehouse has been re-engineered for HANA to deliver faster reporting, simplified data models, and real-time analytics.

By the end of the program, you will be able to design data models, acquire and transform data from multiple sources, build analytical queries, manage user authorizations, and work with BW/4HANA in real business scenarios. The course also covers how organizations migrate from classic SAP BW (7.x) to BW/4HANA, so you understand both legacy systems and modern SAP landscapes.
