Excerpt
In-memory databases, which keep the full data set in the main memory for reading accesses, and their application in business information systems, receive more and more attention due to the development and marketing of SAP technology HANA. In issue 6/2011 of the journal Business & Information Systems Engineering, a total of 11 authors discuss potential applications of in-memory databases in business scenarios in 6 articles (Loos et al. 2011). Thereby, questions about the capability of in-memory technology, resulting consequences for OLTP and OLAP applications as well as implications on the architecture of business information systems, amongst others, were in the focus of the discussion. After publication, the first author received feedback and suggestions. Three of these responses resulted in written statements:-
Strohmeier focuses on the question whether or not future OLTP and OLAP applications should be integrated. He states that concepts for both an operative decision support and for the provision of operative real-time information need to be developed. As a result, he sees a demand for more research in the area “Operational Business Intelligence”.
-
Piller provides more examples of application scenarios, which emerge with in-memory databases. For instance, operative reporting, adaptive planning, explorative mass data analysis or the analysis of consumer data from embedded systems.

Schütte explains, after a description of implicit presumptions and requirements for in-memory technology, the potential of in-memory technology using a practical example of the EDEKA group, which he sees in batch processes, initial supply, and release change.
