Case Study: Ctac achieves affordable, scalable real-time in-memory analytics for SMBs with SAP HANA

How Can We Make In-Memory Data Processing Affordable and Accessible for Smaller Businesses

Ctac, a Dutch value-added reseller specializing in consulting, cloud services, and software development, faced a common challenge: its small and midsize business customers wanted real-time analytics and in‑memory processing but could not afford the high infrastructure costs. To meet this demand and transform its business model, Ctac decided to upgrade its own IT platform to deliver affordable in‑memory capabilities as a service.

Ctac deployed the SAP HANA platform on IBM Power Systems to offer cloud-based SAP S/4HANA and other SAP solutions as a scalable, pay-as-you-go service. The move delivered real-time analytics and processing with faster time to value (95% faster deployments), up to 1,000x faster data processing, reliable 24x7 access, and no large up-front investments—helping SMBs innovate while expanding Ctac’s revenue opportunities.
