SAP Netweaver™

SAP NetWeaver is a web-based, open integration and application platform that serves as the foundation for service-oriented architecture (SOA) and allows the integration and alignment of people, information, and business processes across business and technology boundaries. It utilizes open standards to enable integration with information and applications from almost any source or technology. SAP NetWeaver is the foundation of SAP Business Suite and SAP Business ByDesign, and also powers partner solutions and customer with custom-built applications.

You can use the integrated functionality of SAP NetWeaver with a flexible, step-by-step approach at low cost. To help you plan your approach, SAP provides a technology solution map that shows business requirements together with the SAP NetWeaver functionality that fulfills them. By using the map and taking a phased approach, you can focus on immediate IT needs while making the transition to SOA for greater flexibility and openness.
