TfL using SAP HANA to process big data from the Internet of Things
Transport for London (TfL) is using SAP HANA to process large volumes of data - including data from the Internet of Things (IoT) - in order to improve the organisation's day-to-day planning.
In July 2014, TfL CIO Steve Townsend told Computing that the organisation was beginning to use SAP HANA in order to help TfL make "different decisions and outcomes". At that point the in-memory database and analytics platform was only being tested and Townsend was hesitant about rolling it out across the whole of TfL.
