Case Study: Accenture achieves real-time analytics and sub-20-second reporting with SAP HANA Cloud

NewsPage Future-proofing a route-to-market solution in emerging, growth markets

Accenture’s NewsPage is a distribution management and retail-execution platform used to connect manufacturers, distributors and millions of under‑served mom & pop shops across emerging markets. Rapid, exponential growth (200,000+ users, 8+ million retail outlets) exposed limits in the legacy data system: slow, error‑prone analytics and dashboards that delayed decision‑making and impaired field productivity.

Accenture migrated NewsPage from SAP HANA on Cloud Foundry to SAP HANA Cloud on SAP BTP using a self‑service migration tool, enabling in‑memory “hot” data, native storage for “warm” data and a built‑in Data Lake with seamless SAP integrations. The result: near‑real‑time insights (full analyses in 10–20 seconds versus 24–48 hours), improved route‑to‑market and supply‑chain visibility across 75 countries, better distributor support and lower total cost of ownership.
