I too believe that the top three things for 2012 is going to be the following:
HANA has been the magical word from SAP for 2011. However, here is one of the quotes from the Redbull implementation "Redbull did not see a big improvement in query performance because they were already using BWA. Moreover, they found that HANA does not have all the features that BWA gave them. But they think this is ok, because SAP is committed to working with them to put in features in future revisions of HANA." I did not find this comment quite impressive after all with the in-memory processing (Ref: http://andvijaysays.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/redbull-migrates-bw-to-hana-i-am-suitably-impressed/)
