Migration Path :
SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA or BW on HANA (BoH) is around for some time already. It was introduced in 2nd quarter of 2012 and meanwhile it got a lot of attention. Basically BW is usual choice when companies are trying to evaluate HANA. It is natural that first they just migrate to HANA as database and after some time they start to implement new project using new BW objects leveraging HANA functionalities. Or starting of re-implementing current BW data models to use HANA can happen. Eitherways BW is getting a lot of attention as first system to be migrated to HANA.
