Due to the decrease of persistence layer it will solve many consistency issues, which further result in reduction of layers, total memory used, total lines of code and ultimately reduction in TCO.
In addition it also supports advanced multi-temperature management option with which BW4HANA knows the usage of data in the tables and categorizes them accordingly i.e. hot store (active data ) and warm store ( not so active data) to effectively utilize the memory as shown by SAP below:
