SAP HANA is an in-memory database which supports faster, more efficient, real time processing and data analytics. It will become the only supported SAP database for future roadmaps but more importantly it enables businesses to achieve so much more, from the digital core.

![sap hana centiq](https://www.centiq.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/saphana-logo-3.png?width=200&height=50&name=saphana-logo-3.png)This columnar based database requires a different operating model to optimise and maximise performance as well as return on investment. At [Centiq](https://www.centiq.co.uk/services), we have supported SAP HANA from the very first deployed instances and have supported our wide range of customers in growing with and optimising the very latest HANA and S4 implementations.

We have invested over £10m in the development of our Optiq monitoring, management and optimisation methodology, which when combined with the expertise and understanding of our industry leading consultants, underpins our [Managed Services](https://www.centiq.co.uk/services). We completely re-engineered the platform for continuous innovation and delivery to enhance the value we deliver to our customers.

Whether it is Business Warehouse (BW), Suite on HANA, S4, B4 or C4, we understand how businesses get the most out of HANA, get it right first time and deliver highly successful agile projects and processes with HANA. We are the  [@**HANAExperts**](https://twitter.com/HANAExperts)
