Atmel liberated the pent-up demand of its business users by taking data from SAP BW and other enterprise systems, improving performance by using SAP HANA, and making the data available to users.

As part of this effort Atmel built a semantic layer in business speak, removing all the complexity of databases and the data warehouse by flattening the structure. The team also moved its data warehouse to SAP HANA, giving them the ability to handle larger set of data with faster response time. By putting Tableau on top of the HANA data warehouse and leveraging HANA virtual views, the team gave business the ability to directly access the data.

Now every part of the business is asking for direct access to the data instead of reports. This is helping IT to now focus on providing data, improving data quality and building the enterprise semantic layer rather than building, formatting and adding new columns to the reports.
