What Is SAP BW/4HANA?

SAP BW/4HANA is SAP's next-generation data warehouse solution, built natively on the SAP HANA in-memory database. It's worth being clear on this upfront: SAP BW/4HANA is a different product from SAP S/4HANA. S/4HANA is SAP's core ERP suite covering finance, sales, procurement, and manufacturing. BW/4HANA is a data warehousing and analytics platform that can extract and report on data from S/4HANA and other source systems, but the two have separate certification tracks, exam codes, and skill sets.
