SAP unwraps Project Orca and gives it a new name
SAP has taken the wraps off Project Orca and given the service a new name: SAP Cloud for Analytics.
Due in the fourth quarter, the technology is built natively on SAP's Hana Cloud Platform, which has the company's Hana in-memory database at its core.
SAP will deliver the service in a scalable, multitenant environment, it said, allowing customers to unify business intelligence, planning, budgeting and predictive capabilities in a single cloud service.
The goal is to allow business users to sample, wrangle, combine and blend any data -- big or small, on-premises and in the cloud -- using an intuitive user interface. Line-of-business analysts will be able to build connected planning models, analyze data and collaborate in context to improve business performance, the company said.
