iRise inspired Unilever





Unilever is the world's third-largest consumer goods company, comprised of more than 400 brands including household names like Ben & Jerry's, Dove, and Lipton with annual revenue in excess of 50 billion Euros. Unilever created a Requirements Visualization Center of Excellence, with iRise as the main driver behind it. Unilever has made a decision to standardize on iRise for all critical development projects and is empowering all business analysts and designers to be visualizing early in the development life cycle.

In the video above, Unilever Global CIO Willem Eelman talks about how iRise reducing the  rework cost by 50%, overall cost by 20% ,while helping drive increased user adoption and satisfaction, well designed functional requirements and user experience right far earlier in the SDLC, and quickly iterate and get sign off before development begins with iRise visualizations of little or no training, at speed delivery


According to CIO Willem Eelman, 

"this allows us to design once, without error, to the liking and specification of the end user, and then implement".

"iRise has revolutionized the overall process at Unilever, because they are now visualizing solutions and allowing users to test-drive software before development begins".



SAP Application Visualization by iRise is a leading enterprise visualization solution which enables the creation of an integrated view of the entire solution design or simply parts of it. It is more than just visualizing a development, it is visualizing a solution, including integrated end-to-end workflow.

Thanks Oracle! Welcome HANA




On 10th Jan 2013, SAP releases their Secret. In last 10 days you may heard or seen in your twitter # tags saying “#SAPonHANA”. Nobody knows and they might have thought of Some SAP HANA program on 10th Jan with Hasso Plattner and Vishal Sikka.

The Secret has opened yesterday when Co-founder Hasso smiles and Oracle CEO Ellison's bothered. #SAPonHANA is about…. SAP on HANA.

SAP has declared a new version of its Business Suite on HANA offers fast database reporting and a goal of three-second response times to transactional queries and many advantages so far…. Last year, SAP Co-CEO Bill McDermott says SAP will reach a Billion Customer by 2014. This may be the initiative of his statement.

SAP Co-Founder Hasso Plattner at a press conference in Palo Alto, California saying, "It's much better analytics, between ten and ten thousand times faster. I'm not bragging here that we achieved up to 250,000 times faster because nobody believes us and the press call it hype.

This potential of being able to do everything just-in-time is at the heart of what is possible with the power of HANA said our Vishal Sikka. SAP and HANA have been one of the most powerful of the Customer to run their business like never before.

Same time, I promise that ORACLE would definitely be a value-added addition to SAP Company. Thank you very much Oracle. HANA runs for everything. I hope, if they want SAP may give HANA freely to them to run their business.

FMCG giant Unilever's Global HANA Roll-out







For the initiative Unilever's European HANA roll-out is set to begin in January 2013.It is expected to roll-out the following HANA accelerators:

  • Cost of Profitability Analysis Accelerator – enables managers to visualise cost and profit drivers, even when working with large volumes of financial data. 
  • Material Ledger Accelerator – accelerates material-ledger period-end closings and drill-down reports.
  • Finance and Controlling Accelerator – helps the finance department accelerate period-end closes and reporting while unlocking opportunities to improve financial performance.
  • Automatic real-time Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) – speeds up OEE calculations, which are used to identify cost reduction opportunities.
  • Trade Promotion Management – improves the granularity of promotional planning data by providing instant access to daily sales, shipment, volume and cost data.


Thomas Benthien, Director at Unilever's ERP centre of excellence said this will lead to an increase in database transactions and our company expects to double its turnover from €40bn to €80bn by 2020.

We believed HANA Speeds up Unilever Business process by enabling Unilever to reduce the time it takes to process 200 million records from 440 seconds to just 30 second & 30,000 transactions per minute. 

“We also developed an iPad CFO dashboard, which needed a fast response time – it can access 90 Million records in four seconds using Business Objects,” he said.
