LANDSCAPE: Ousting out the need of Core Interface (CIF), the launch of 1610 incorporates production planning and detailed scheduling. What follows is a discernable drop in data redundancy thereafter causing a decrease in infrastructural costs.

However, what can be said to be in common is the very factor that both the systems use in-memory. Thus, it realizes faster and real-time analytics and computing capabilities.
