Brief
Performance for large amounts of data
With SAP HANA, for the first time ever, complex searches, analyses, and calculations can be carried out within milliseconds — even if a vast amount of data is involved. This high performance imposes special conditions on handling and visualization. Therefore the user interface is a critical component of the product SAP HANA.
Approach
Innovative UX & advanced animations
Together with SAP, we focused on the core functions and, after intensive database structure analysis, developed an innovative UX solution for data representation. Moreover, sophisticated animations make interactions more comprehensible for users. Originally envisaged as an independent application, SAP HANA Infos Access was eventually integrated into SAP Fiori. The front end of the native iOS App was also finally programmed by Ergosign UX developers in collaboration with SAP.
Outcome
New design for digital transformation
SAP HANA is an open platform for the in-memory technology to be used by SAP for the first time. The SAP HANA platform is at the center of this new database generation, ideally suited for supporting companies in their shift to a digital economy. A UI jointly designed by the teams uses interaction and animations to implement this idea effectively.
