In the era of ‘Big Data,’ SAP HANA Analytics Foundation for SAP Solutions for GRC shows innovation in addressing the burgeoning velocity, volume, and variety of GRC governance, risk and compliance data in the enterprise. This The SAP HANA® platform leverages in-memory data to speed analysis of large volumes of data to provide insight. SAP HANA speeds the process of gathering, analyzing, and reporting and creates new opportunities for cross-system GRC and business analytics.
