International GIS supplier Esri has committed to commercially support SAP HANA as a single enterprise geodatabase for its flagship product ArcGIS, resulting in significantly faster and easier spatial query performance of big data.
The move is part of a recently announced global technology partnership between SAP and Esri.
Planned for 2016, the next release of Esri’s ArcGIS mapping and geospatial intelligence technology will expand the existing native integration with SAP HANA to allow organizations to run all their SAP Business Suite and ArcGIS applications within a SAP HANA architecture.
The collaboration between SAP and Esri is expected to enable organizations to run both GIS workloads and advanced spatial analytics on the single SAP HANA geodatabase.
“We’re very excited about the enterprise geodatabase support for SAP HANA,” said Jack Dangermond, president, Esri. “It will bring our customers speed, simplicity and better integration with their enterprise information. For SAP customers, it delivers a complete platform for mapping and geospatial intelligence. By synchronising our platforms, our respective customers will benefit across the enterprise. We’re doing the work to make sure that GIS and mapping is available to all — not just traditional mapping experts.” continued…
