OLTP systems are designed to handle numerous short transactions with a focus on fast query processing and high data integrity. Their effectiveness is measured by the number of transactions per second. In contrast, OLAP systems are intended for complex queries involving data aggregation on historical data stored in multidimensional schemas. Effectiveness for OLAP systems is measured by response time rather than transactions per second. Modern platforms now allow for both OLTP and OLAP workloads to be handled simultaneously, eliminating the need to extract OLTP data and transform it into an OLAP structure for analysis. This integrated approach saves time and resources while improving data quality.

Transactional (OLTP) vs.
Analytical (OLAP) IT Systems
OLTP: numerous short transactions. Requires fast query processing and high data integrity in multi-access environments. Effectiveness is measured by number of transactions per second. OLAP: low volume of transactions. Complex queries involving aggregation. Effectiveness is measured by response time. Aggregated, historical data, stored in multi-dimensional schemas (usually star schema).

The Future of IT Systems:
Combining OLAP and OLTP Companies no longer have to choose between OLAP and OLTP platforms like SAP HANA excel in both transactional and analytical workloads. Before SAP HANA, no platform could use OLTP and OLAP simultaneously. Running analytics (operational reporting, data warehousing, Big Data analysis) the traditional way requires OLTP data to be extracted from the ERP system and transformed into OLAP data (requires tuning configurations: aggregates & indexes). Process is slow and cumbersome, and the quality can be unreliable. Benefits of combining the two databases: eliminates the necessity of using a transactional-enabled database management system to do an analytical workload -> all the data a business needs are in one places -> saves time, cost, and effort, and improves quality. Compatible with cloud computing, no hardware lock-in, ensures data availability and security.
