SAP HANA and Esri Combine for Geospatial Database Platform

SAP and Esri are combining SAP HANA's in-memory database capabilities with Esri geospatial applications, and utilities are taking advantage to integrate geospatial and enterprise data.

SAP HANA has been integrated with Esri's geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analytics applications for a few years. And now, Esri fully supports SAP HANA as an enterprise geospatial database, according to the companies.

The Esri geospatial database can now take advantage of the underlying processing speed and power of the in-memory HANA database to better integrate enterprise system data with geospatial data and improve the performance and scalability of geospatial applications, according to Matthew Zenus, global vice president of database and data management and solution go-to-market efforts at SAP.

The combination of SAP and Esri brings location intelligence to enterprise data and applications, allowing businesses to develop applications that use spatial analytics and advanced visualizations and embed geospatial data into core business processes. "GIS and mapping, combined with the richness of business data and business processes, is a very powerful combination that can benefit every industry," Jack Dangermond, Esri's founder and president, said in a press release. "Together, SAP and Esri are making GIS, mapping, advanced visualizations and spatial analytics available to everyone across the enterprise."
