SAP is stepping its big data play up a notch. The business software maker’s vision is based largely on the HANA in-memory analytics platform which gained a surprising amount of support in the past 12 months, most recent from one of the company’s own subsidiaries.

Success Factors, the provider of cloud-based HR services SAP acquired last year, stated that its analytics solutions will be integrated with HANA over the course of the next few months. Customers can start expecting the upgraded and hopefully more powerful versions of Workforce Analytics and Workforce Planning in the third quarter, but in the meantime they’re receiving access to the other update to Success Factors’ Business Execution suite. It has been optimized for the iPad among other things, which now means that the cloud software line-up is more accessible for executives, as well as other tablet users.

Mobile it seems is just as big of a focus for SAP as big data. It even ties in with the firm’s social enterprise plans, according to cloud computing unit head Dinesh Sharma. The VP noted in an interview that he sees an opportunity in Facebook to become something much more similar to LinkedIn with a little help, possibly from the direction of HANA.

MongoDB developer 10gen also had a big update this week. It received $42 million in a latest funding round led by New Enterprise Associates with participation from existing investors Union Square Ventures, Sequoia and Flybridge Capital Partners. The type of database technology is getting big now that enterprises’ are outgrowing their traditional solutions, and are facing a need to do something with the massive amounts of unstructured data they’re accumulating. 10gen says that it has a customer base of 500 organizations.
