DSB in Denmark implemented SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, becoming the first organization in Scandinavia to use the cloud platform. With SAP HANA, DSB can deliver new systems within a week to meet changing business needs, and enable real-time business processes and reporting. DSB set up initial ECC sandboxes and a Solution Manager system in August 2014 to test the cloud platform and expects to transition more systems to the cloud in the third quarter.
