About the technology

In-memory foundation

SAP HANA is an in-memory database and data platform for processing transactional and analytical workloads with low latency. It stores frequently accessed data in memory while supporting persistent storage, SQL, calculation views and advanced data processing. Companies use it for SAP S/4HANA, reporting, planning and operational analytics.

Core use cases

SAP HANA specialists help organizations turn complex enterprise data into reliable applications and decisions.

  • Design calculation views for operational and analytical reporting
  • Migrate SAP workloads and legacy databases to HANA
  • Tune SQL, data models and resource-intensive queries
  • Build real-time dashboards and planning solutions
  • Integrate ERP, warehouse and external business data

Ecosystem and tooling

The ecosystem includes SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA cockpit, SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP Analytics Cloud. Strong professionals work with SQL, SQLScript, HDI containers, CDS views, OData and SAP Fiori, while understanding SAP S/4HANA data structures. Depending on the landscape, they may also use SAP BW/4HANA, Datasphere, replication tools and orchestration services.

When expertise matters

Freelance expertise is useful during migrations, upgrades, performance investigations and large reporting initiatives. It also helps when internal teams need focused support for a new data model, integration layer or cloud transition.

  • Existing reports are slow or difficult to maintain
  • A legacy database must support an SAP transformation
  • Data from SAP and non-SAP sources needs consistent modeling
  • The team lacks capacity for a HANA Cloud or S/4HANA project

What strong specialists deliver

A capable professional starts with the business process and traces it through tables, views, queries and applications. They establish clear modeling conventions, test performance with realistic workloads and document decisions for the internal team. They also understand authorization concepts, transport practices, monitoring and operational handover rather than treating the database in isolation.

Working with Berlin teams

Berlin companies can involve SAP HANA specialists in local workshops, hybrid delivery or fully remote collaboration. The right setup depends on data access, stakeholder availability and security requirements. German and English communication may both matter when business users, SAP partners and international delivery teams share the project.

A good engagement defines the target architecture, source systems, deliverables and access boundaries early. It should also include validation with business users, performance acceptance criteria and a plan for support after launch.

Frequently asked questions

Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about SAP HANA.

SAP HANA is used for high-speed transactional processing, analytics, reporting, planning and data-intensive applications. It commonly supports SAP S/4HANA landscapes, operational dashboards, financial analysis and integrated enterprise data.

SAP HANA combines in-memory processing with persistent storage and is closely integrated with SAP applications. Traditional relational databases can also handle enterprise workloads, but HANA is often chosen when SAP data models, real-time analytics and simplified application integration are central requirements.

SAP HANA work often requires SQL, SQLScript, data modeling, performance tuning and database security. Useful adjacent knowledge includes SAP S/4HANA, CDS views, SAP Fiori, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP BW/4HANA, SAP Business Technology Platform and integration technologies.

SAP HANA project needs depend on the scope and risk of the landscape, not simply on a title or certification. A migration, complex performance issue or S/4HANA transformation calls for a specialist who has handled comparable systems, while a focused reporting task may need narrower expertise.

SAP HANA projects can often be delivered remotely when secure system access, clear documentation and regular stakeholder sessions are available. On-site workshops in Berlin may still help with process discovery, migration planning or coordination across business and IT teams.

SAP HANA specialists should receive only the access required for their agreed tasks, with separate development, test and production controls where applicable. Companies should clarify data protection rules, logging, transport procedures, backup responsibilities and who approves changes.

SAP HANA quality is visible in stable query performance, understandable data models, accurate results and documented operational procedures. Ask the specialist to explain trade-offs, testing methods, monitoring setup and how the solution will be maintained after handover.

SAP HANA delivery works best when technical decisions are linked to business outcomes and recorded clearly. For Berlin teams, confirm whether German, English or both are needed for workshops, documentation and communication with international SAP stakeholders.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Berlin, Germany who have used SAP HANA in their recent projects is 116 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 925 € based on an 8-hour working day.
