Agenda l Real-time Business l Enterprise Application Integration l SAP Net. Weaver l Conclusion IWI-HSG ã H. Österle / Slide 12
Netweaver Can Be More Than EAI l The Internet-Browser simplified front-end integration. l Portal software removes many of the obstacles in user handling (e. g. Single Sign-on). l XML-based messaging is clearly more flexible than EDI or RFC. l Data synchronization has matured in systems like ALE ( MDM). l SAP Net. Weaver uses the pre-defined meta-data repository. IWI-HSG ã H. Österle / Slide 13
Integration Platforms Cannot Resolve Semantic Clashes l Different understanding of "shipment" Customer aks for "shipment nofication" Supplier notifies "goods staged" Customer understands "shipment released" l Different Product IDs Supplier has frame agreement for product "XR 4" Customer has product "XR 4 -Australia" l Missing link between order and order confirmation Customer orders an item with 100 units Supplier´s system splits order-line into two orders with separate order confirmations Customer´s system can´t match second order confirmation to original order IWI-HSG ã H. Österle / Slide 14
Agenda l Real-time Business l Enterprise Application Integration l SAP Net. Weaver l Conclusion IWI-HSG ã H. Österle / Slide 15

Weaver. l SAP customers are becoming more agile, but there is no such thing as a "Lego-Enterprise" l What´s needed is n Customer process redesign n Collaboration n Technical negotiation ( Change Management) implementation ( Change Management) IWI-HSG ã H.
