In-memory computing has moved from experimentation to enterprise reality. The question is no longer whether it works. The real question is where it creates meaningful business value.
In this CIO Talk Network conversation, host Sanjog Aul is joined by:
• Dr. Jeffrey Word, Vice President of Product Strategy for Databases and Technology at SAP
• Dr. Chris Nøkkentved, Chief Technology Officer of Enterprise Application Services at HP
Together, they explore whether SAP HANA truly represents a transformational platform or simply a faster database.
This discussion examines:
• What differentiates SAP HANA from traditional disk-based architectures?
• Where in-memory computing creates real business impact?
• Why HANA is not a one-size-fits-all solution?
• Common migration pitfalls organizations underestimate
• How to build a credible business case for transformation?
• The rise of event-driven, lightweight application development
• Industry case studies including manufacturing, retail, automotive, and healthcare
Beyond speed, this episode reframes in-memory computing as an architectural shift. The focus is not just performance. It is enabling new business models, real-time simulation, predictive planning, and decision making that were not previously possible.
The key takeaway for enterprise IT leaders is clear. Think big. Start small. Anchor every step in measurable business value.
