Conversation with Mark Thienpont, Lead Expert BI/HANA Consultant, Delaware Consulting

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

A practical conversation about using SAP HANA with SAP BW/BO to build embedded analytics inside S/4 rather than vague BI theory. Covers a working prototype and implementation patterns (data modeling, live views, ETL tradeoffs), real operational constraints (query latency, memory footprint, tooling gaps) and how AI/ML is being integrated into analytics pipelines. Useful if wanting concrete integration steps, deployment pitfalls, and which SAP components are actually used.
