think that they&#8217;ll see any ROI with HANA. \u00a0Three quarters of SAP users say that they don&#8217;t have a use case that justifies the cost of HANA. \u00a0And the SAP partner perspective is that SAP really needs to provide better Use Cases in order for partners to be able to better sell the solution.<\/p>\n<p>The top four issues that the ASUG found with HANA are lack of Use Cases, lack of skills to implement solutions, unclear roadmap, and upgrade issues.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Holger Mueller bio\" href=\"www.linkedin.com\/in\/holgermueller\" target=\"_blank\">Holger Mueller<\/a>,

that<\/a>\u00a0&#8220;these are not surprising results, but typical for a vendor innovating massively and radically as SAP does with HANA. \u00a0It always takes time for customers and partners to get
