| | Letter from the Editor: SAP HANA, You Are the Hottest
All around SAP these days is the feeling of energy and renewal. "Better to be part of innovation for the future than consolidation of the past," says Sanjay Poonen. More fun, too. Future-focused SAP HANA technology is the new Real-Time paradigm, while Oracle comes in a year late, high on complexity and low on elegance.
Read why SAP considers Oracle's Exalytics both underwhelming and ExaSperating.
SAP HANA handles big data faster than you can think. New information and community engagement is unfolding now on Experience SAP HANA and on SCN.
Sincerely,
Keith Elliott
Editor-in-Chief

| | 1. | Why You Should Upgrade to MDM 7.1 SP08 | |
| |
| | | According to Steffen Ulmer, this SP differs from the last two SPs (SP06 and SP07) since it delivers some key enhancements that can be used to address real business requirements. In this blog he outlines three key areas of improvement: enhancements on Tuples, updates on the user interface, and new administration features. For more on MDM, take a look at MDM eLearnings and the MDM area on SCN.

| | 2. | Using Excel on SAP HANA | |
| |
| | | From the very beginning, SAP HANA has been shipped with an OLE DB for OLAP (ODBO) driver that allows ODBO enabled clients to connect and analyze analytic views in the SAP HANA repository. Those analytic views are cubes that have been modeled with the SAP HANA modeler (part of SAP HANA studio). Thomas Zurek provides some background and points to a demo video created by Simba.
