3. Acteno

A smart grid integrator for companies in all industries, Acteno offers solutions for smart metering, load management, peak management, and bundled procurement. Customers get a mobile app to track their energy use across location, units, and equipment. They can see exactly how much energy each part of their business consumes in real time, and respond accordingly.

4. VMS

This company helps customers measure, analyze, and optimize their SAP systems. They track how employees use the software and assess the quality, efficiency, and cost of the application. This process involves analyzing a huge amount of information, since every line order item entered, every invoice created, is a separate variable.

5. Myspotworld

This cloud-based application helps retailers share their environmental engagement with consumers in a mobile game. Users can check the green value of sustainable retail products via a mobile app. If they purchase sustainable product, they can add more green to their plot of land in the game.

Currently in the pilot stage, Myspotworld is not yet using SAP’s in-memory database. The startup is looking to switch to HANA in order to carry out the larger rollout it has planned.

6. Blue Yonder

This real-time predictive analytics provider puts predictive analytics right at the heart of the business process – so companies order the right quantities of a particular product right from the start.

In some areas, such as fresh food, there is a huge amount of data that goes into these analytics from internal and also external sources, like weather data and holidays. Steaks sell much more quickly on a holiday weekend in the summer than on a Tuesday in November, for example. Delivering these complex analyses fast is where HANA comes in.
