In the present era, where SAP companies are struggling to fuse the
various heterogeneous environment in their organization and maintain a
lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Netweaver comes as a solution to
all their problems. SAP Netweaver is the latest advancement in the SAP
Technologies, which was developed as an Artificial Intelligence (AI)
shell that accepts standard comments literally as they are spoken by
domain experts.
Modularity is the unique feature of Netweaver that makes it stand out
amongst other software technologies. The knowledge engineer can more
easily create "digestible chunks" of modules or sub-dependency
networks, which help to keep the overarching dependency network from
becoming potentially incomprehensible because of obvious complexity.
The following plain text is aimed at expanding SAP Netweaver
architecture and its interoperability with Microsoft.NET and IBM
WebSpere.
In simple words Netweaver is an application and Integration platform in
which Web Services plays a major role and which is open for Non-SAP
applications and platform. Using Netweaver to improve the organizations
productivity and enhance efficiency by making all the resources that
are available in an enterprise to work collectively. To bring
heterogeneous environment at one platform SAP Netweaver can be used. In
addition, by using this technology we can use the existing systems
without putting in much investment. Further in the near future, the
various SAP Companies and Organizations have to take a decision for
some common platform; could be Microsoft .NET, IBM Websphere or SAP
Netweaver. Irrespective of making selection, SAP Netweaver is the one
that integrates with all the three technologies.
SAP Netweaver attains the process of integration by integrating all the
available heterogeneous resources of the existing system and combining
them into a homogeneous form. This integrated information forms the
basis of total, comprehendible, focused solution as preferred in an
enterprise.
Advantages of SAP Netweaver
Enhanced Adaptability: Enhanced adaptability actually refers to the
adaptability of SAP Netweaver towards the existing Business System in
any organization without investment. It provides a heterogeneous
environment, by integrating the various applications; databases and
making available open technologies like web services readily available
to the user. It saves money and time on unnecessary customization of
the existing business System.
Lower TCO: SAP Netweaver instead of replacing the existing system
interweaves the various resources like databases, legacy systems;
Internet based Information and provides a heterogeneous Environment for
the user to get the maximum from the new unified system. It will also
prevent the unnecessary customization of the entire system. Moreover,
it reduces complexity and makes the system more comprehendible and
flexible to the frequently changing business processes. All of these
lead to reduce the total cost of ownership.
Better ROI: SAP Netweaver increases the return on investment in a
shorter period of time. As mentioned earlier, by using this SAP
Netweaver technology IT strategies can be synchronized with SAP
solutions. This synchronization makes the system more reliable and it
leads to better assessment services, which in turn lead to financial
benefits.
Netweaver uses a very transparent process to provide the ability to
trace the logic structure right from the raw data to information, which
can be used for analysis. Developing portal content on your preferred
platform is possible. Interoperability of SAP Netweaver with Microsoft
.NET and IBM Hemisphere takes at People, Information and process level.
For Microsoft .NET, Sap’s .NET connector provides a vastly scalable and
reliable communication infrastructure, as well as a Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET Add-In to simplify development. SAP customers and SAP
partners will easily build SAP enabled components using Java Using
Sap’s Java middleware and the SAP Java Connector. Thus, helping
decision makers to interpret and manipulate the output of the decision
model that provides precisely robust knowledge about complex problems.
Hence, making SAP Netweaver is a Complete Solution and Integration with
various applications and platforms that are used in various
organizations.
