Germany: SAP SE has recently unveiled that Esri will commercially support ArcGIS using SAP HANA as an enterprise geodatabase, through a global technology partnership. The release of ArcGIS, planned for 2016, expands the existing native integration with SAP HANA and allows customers to run all their SAP Business Suite and ArcGIS applications within an architecture based on SAP HANA. The companies will further enhance the SAP HANA platform by more deeply integrating advanced ArcGIS geospatial capabilities and content across SAP’s broader application portfolio. The new partnership is expected to harness the power of combining two market-leading platforms, providing the ability to run both GIS workloads and advanced spatial analytics on a single SAP HANA geodatabase.
