The SAP Hana platform provides a real time in memory data cloud based solution for the hosting of SAP based solutions delivered by Salford City Council as the lead authority supporting SAP S/4 applications. The platform will provide a single database instance serving multiple tenants in a virtualised cloud environment and will be able to be provided by the lead authority as the technical foundation of cooperation with other public sector authorities. While the proposed contract will initially be undertaken in cooperation with Liverpool City Council, the expectation is that there will be cooperation with other public sector bodies on a maximum 5 year term (with co-operating parties all co-terminating).
