SAP HANA Modeling & Implementation Course Overview
SAP HANA Modeling is the art and science of designing optimised virtual data models on top of SAP HANA's in-memory engine — enabling lightning-fast reporting, analytics, and data access for enterprise applications. As organisations run SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, and SAP Analytics Cloud on HANA, the ability to design efficient, scalable HANA data models is a premium technical skill in high demand across SAP implementation projects worldwide.
RipplesInfo's SAP HANA Modeling & Implementation Training is a comprehensive, hands-on programme covering the full spectrum of HANA data modelling — from foundational concepts through advanced calculation views, Smart Data Access (SDA), SDA Federation, and integration with SAP BW/4HANA and SAP Analytics Cloud. Delivered by Mallikarjun Jammula — a 24+ year SAP Architect with deep HANA, S/4HANA, and BW implementation experience — this programme gives you the modelling expertise demanded in enterprise SAP analytics and reporting projects.
You will master information models in SAP HANA Studio and SAP Web IDE, design and optimise graphical and script-based calculation views, implement column and row store table design, work with currency conversion and hierarchy nodes, build analytical privileges for row-level security, and integrate SAP HANA models with SAP BW/4HANA, SAP Datasphere, and SAP Analytics Cloud. Every topic is taught on a live SAP HANA system.
By programme completion you will be ready for productive contribution on SAP HANA modelling projects, prepared to sit the SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP HANA 2.0 SPS exam, and equipped to design data models that meet the performance and analytical requirements of enterprise SAP deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions — SAP HANA Modeling & Implementation Course
SAP HANA Modeling is the design and optimisation of virtual data models — primarily calculation views — that sit on top of SAP HANA's in-memory database and power analytical applications, reporting tools, and SAP applications. HANA modellers are needed in every SAP S/4HANA, BW/4HANA, and analytics project, making this a consistently high-demand specialisation.
A Calculation View is a virtual, reusable data model in SAP HANA that combines data from multiple tables (and other calculation views) using join, aggregation, union, and projection nodes. It is the primary modelling artefact consumed by SAP Fiori apps, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP BW/4HANA, and ABAP programs. Calculation views can be graphical (designed in HANA Studio or Web IDE) or script-based (written in SQL Script).
No ABAP or programming background is required to start. The first half of the course uses graphical calculation views which require no coding. SQL Script (used in script-based views) is taught from first principles within the programme. An analytical or database background is helpful but not mandatory.
SAP HANA Administration covers database operations — installation, backup, recovery, performance monitoring, and high availability. SAP HANA Modeling covers data model design — creating calculation views, analytic privileges, and integrating HANA with analytical tools. Administration is an infrastructure role; Modeling is a developer/consultant role. Both are valuable and complementary.
The programme prepares you for the SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP HANA 2.0 SPS exam. The final module is fully dedicated to exam preparation: blueprint coverage, full-length mock tests, and one-on-one exam strategy sessions with your trainer.
Smart Data Access (SDA) is a SAP HANA capability that creates virtual tables over remote data sources — allowing HANA queries to read data directly from external databases (Oracle, SQL Server, S/4HANA, Hadoop, etc.) without physically loading data into HANA. It is widely used in federated analytics architectures and is a key skill in enterprise HANA projects.
Absolutely. SAP HANA calculation views remain the primary data layer consumed by SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP Fiori, and ABAP applications in S/4HANA environments. Datasphere itself is built on SAP HANA Cloud and relies on HANA modelling concepts. HANA modelling expertise is foundational to the entire SAP analytics ecosystem.
SAP HANA Modeling consultants in India earn ₹7–16 LPA at mid-level, with senior HANA architects and BW/4HANA specialists earning ₹18–30+ LPA. Freshers entering HANA modelling roles typically start at ₹4–7 LPA. The combination of HANA modelling + SAP Analytics Cloud skills commands the highest premiums in this space.
