  • This is published by a research entity, not some lowbrow entity that is part of the SAP ecosystem. 
  • Second, no one paid for this article to be written, and it is not pretending to inform you while being rigged to sell you software or consulting services. Unlike nearly every other article you will find from Google on this topic, it has had no input from any company's marketing or sales department. As you are reading this article, consider how rare this is. The vast majority of information on the Internet on SAP is provided by SAP, which is filled with false claims and sleazy consulting companies and SAP consultants who will tell any lie for personal benefit. Furthermore, SAP pays off all IT analysts -- who have the same concern for accuracy as SAP. Not one of these entities will disclose their pro-SAP financial bias to their readers. 

The Truth About All Non-HANA DB’s Legacy?

As we covered in the article How Accurate is SAP in Calling Non-HANA DBs Legacy?, we explained that the databases that SAP calls legacy are more successful than HANA, and all the evidence indicates that they perform better than HANA. SAP is comingling the fact that these databases preceded HANA with these databases being legacy. All of these databases have massive customer bases and are perpetually kept up to date.

Conclusion and Calculation

SAP receives a 0% accuracy rating for all non-HANA DB being legacy.
