SAP and Esri Deliver First Database as a Service to ArcGIS Customers

SAP SE announced that Esri, a leader in location intelligence, now supports SAP Cloud Platform, SAP HANA service.

This announcement marks the first-ever database as a service that is fully supported by Esri ArcGIS technology.  Organizations can now run SAP HANA as the underlying multimodel database service for the ArcGIS system of record and take advantage of increased performance, lower total cost of ownership, and easier integration of enterprise data with spatial data either on premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid deployment.  

The SAP HANA service, a main component of SAP HANA Cloud Services, is now a supported enterprise geodatabase with Esri’s ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Pro, allowing businesses to benefit from full integration of enterprise and spatial data for greater insights, improved business decisions and quicker innovation.  By providing fully integrated spatial analytics and advanced visualizations in one multimodel database management system, the joint solution from SAP and Esri reportedly consolidates IT landscapes for lower administration costs and total cost of ownership.
