1) Running SAP Business Suite on SAP HANA can reduce total cost of ownership compared to classical databases due to lower hardware, software, operations, and maintenance costs.
2) SAP HANA allows combining transactions and analytics on a single in-memory platform, eliminating costs associated with separate systems for operational reporting, extract-transform-load processes, and data services.
3) Customers can further reduce costs through SAP's tailored data center integration approach, which allows using existing hardware and infrastructure rather than requiring proprietary appliances.
