BANGALORE: SAP Labs India is about to take its first India-made product to the global market. Code-named Project Genomics, the software offers visual analytics, data transformation pipelines and clinical applications for genome research.
SAP worked closely with Mumbai-based Tata Memorial Centre to build the product from its newly-created products lab called SAP AppHaus in Bangalore.
"The aim of AppHaus is to take ideas from the mind to the market in a short period of time, specifi cally 90 days," said Ganapathy Subramanian, vice president at SAP Labs India.

The project has allowed Tata Memorial Centre to check the whole cancer genome in an interactive manner, said principal investiga tor Amit Dutt.
"Despite large-scale DNA se quencing of the cancer genome there's no dedicated informatics tool to simultaneously load up all the genetic alterations to form a global view understanding of the higher order," he said.
"This (SAP tool) will allow can cer researchers (with and without advanced computational skills) to analyse large data sets in an interactive mode at resolutions not possible before."
As part of Project Genome, SAP is building a single window inter face of various known disease markers.
The solution will help cancer biologists to navigate through the data and discover relationships in the data that were not obvious from the original individual sources, such as similarity between biomarker profiles of two different diseases, or similarity between the target profiles of two different drugs.
SAP Labs India is working on multiple other products with different customers and plans to take some of them global as well. All the products are built on the HANA platform.
"At AppHaus, we observe user behaviour and design the product around it by focusing on limited features that can be built quickly and provide the most important functionalities," SAP's Subramanian said.
