SAP NetWeaver is an integrated platform that provides application, integration, collaboration and business process platform. SAP NetWeaver comprises of multiple technology components such as Enterprise Portal, Adobe Interactive Forms, Mobile, Business Intelligence, Composite Application Framework, Business Process Management, Process Integration. Besides that there are a few more complementary technology components from partners like HP Quality Center and HP Loadrunner.
Technology : Enterprise Portal (EP)
Service : Web Application Development
SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) provides a complete portal infrastructure and includes knowledge-management and collaboration functionality. It allows companies and organizations to quickly and effectively integrate SAP solutions, third-party applications, legacy systems, databases, unstructured documents, internal and external Web content, and collaboration tools. SAP EP uses open standards, Web services, and tight integration with other SAP NetWeaver components to support heterogeneous systems from all major technology providers.
Technology : Web Dynpro
Service : Web Application Development
SAP Web Dynpro is a development model for web-based user interfaces. Web Dynpro applications are built using declarative programming techniques based on the Model View Controller (MVC) design paradigm. The developer specifies user interface elements, and data source for those elements. All the code to create the user interface is then generated automatically within a standard runtime framework. This relieves developer from the repetitive coding tasks involved in writing HTML and then making it interactive with JavaScript.
Technology : Adobe Interactive Forms
Service : Adobe Interactive Solution, Web Application Development
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe allows users to participate in automated business processes by completing forms, such as purchase requisitions; personnel and cost-center change requests; expense reimbursement requests; internal requisitions; and online recruiting documents. Adobe technology is tightly integrated into the powerful SAP NetWeaver environment; which enables fast, easy forms design and modification to meet the specific ways that your enterprise, partners, and customers work.
Technology : Mobile
Service : Mobile Apps Development
SAP NetWeaver Mobile enables organizations to extend existing and new business processes into the mobile world. SAP NetWeaver Mobile integrates front-end mobile devices with back-end business processes. The mobile platform is open and exposes API to use its services, which can be used from other development environments to create Mobile Applications.
Technology : Business Intelligence
Service : BI Solutions
SAP NetWeaver provide Business Warehouse (BW) and Business Explorer (BEx) Suite for Extraction, Transformation and Loading (ETL), Data Warehouse and Query, Reporting and Anaysis (QRA) functions. Data can be acquired from any system (SAP, RDBMS, MDX Source, Files, Web Services).
Technology : Composite Application Framework (CAF)
Service : Composite Application Development
CAF provides a comprehensive environment, which includes a Java based programming model, metadata, and tools to support the development and deployment of composite applications based on SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). Composite applications interact with multiple applications systems in a loosely coupled manner, with their own business logic. Organizations can use composite applications to fill the gaps in their existing applications. The independent lifecycle of composite application and explicit partitioning ensures that the investment on Custom Application Development is secure (as it does not have to be changed or ported once the underlying applications move to new versions).
Technology : Business Process Management (BPM)
Service : BPM Solutions
SAP BPM enables human centric processes that can spawn multiple participants (users and systems). It can be used to create collaboration networks between. Business rules can (e.g. if a purchase order is more than $10000, VP approval is required) be managed externally to the process.
Technology : Process Integration (PI)
Service : Enterprise Integration Solutions, BPM Solutions
SAP PI (earlier known as Exchange Infrastructure) provides an elegant solution to integrate application systems within and outside the organization and also enables system centric networks (ccBPM: Cross Component Business Process Management).
Technology : HP Quality Center
Service : QA Services
HP Quality Center manages test cases based on business and test requirements. It provides full traceability from requirements to tests to defects. By providing a collaboration between business analysts, developers and testers on application requirements, it reduces risks.
Technology : Test Acceleration Optimizer (TAO) Service : QA Services
TAO enables creation of test scripts using composition, where individual test components (e.g. login, entry on a text field) are captured and can be composed in test scripts. It reduces testing efforts considerably and reduces risks by providing better testing coverage. TAO works in conjunction with HP Quality Center.
Technology : HP LoadRunner
Service : QA Services
HP LoadRunner provides performance testing for applications in SAP environment. It can be used to simulate 100s to 1000s of users to identify, isolate and resolve bottlenecks. This results in reduced support costs, increased online user capacity, improved application response time, improved time to resolve problems and reduced application failure rate.
