Case Study: University of Cincinnati achieves faster data reporting and 80% data compression with SAP HANA

Creating Immediate Benefits with Data and Reporting using SAP HANA

The University of Cincinnati, a public research university with over 44,000 students, faced challenges with slow data loads, backups, and reporting due to its rapidly growing data. To address these inefficiencies and maintain its competitive edge, the university partnered with vendor SAP to implement a new digital platform.

Working with SAP and its partner LSI Consulting, the university deployed the SAP HANA platform as its data warehouse and the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence suite. This solution compressed data by 80%, dramatically improved data processing speeds, and allowed for full nightly backups in just 20 minutes. SAP's technology provided the university with a simplified, agile IT environment and empowered faculty and staff with enhanced reporting and analytics capabilities.
