Planning the migration
In the introduction, we discussed the benefits of the DMO process over other options
for migrating to SAP HANA. In this chapter, you will learn more about the business
case for migrating to SAP HANA, as well as the items that you must consider when
planning for the DMO approach.
In
Chapter 1
, we examined the history of data migrations and began to build the case
for choosing the DMO option for your company's migration from BW to HANA. In this
chapter, we will look at several benefits you can use in building your business case for SAP
HANA. We will also look at some sample staffing plans, hardware sizing and planning ex-
amples, budgeting, and milestones. This information is provided as a baseline to assist you
in planning for your company's DMO process.
