The SAP NetWeaver® technology platform helps you run and manage
business processes, optimize performance, and reduce costs. By delivering
consistent, reliable information, the technology platform helps increase
efficiency and productivity. By providing the correct business and informationalcontext – along with powerful analytical functionality – it increases your insight
into data. It can improve your connectivity and communication by extending
your business processes across applications to business units as well as
partners. As the technical foundation for service-oriented architecture (SOA),
SAP NetWeaver powers adaptable software solutions that enable IT to drive
profits through better transparency – at lower costs.
Leading companies realize that to succeed they must deploy strategies faster thanthe rest of the market and close the gap between core strategic goals and operational
execution. With IT as a strategic partner in the business, your technology can helpkeep you ahead of the competition as your operations gain agility to support continuousbusiness improvement.

IT AS A STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNER
ENABLING EFFICIENCY, INSIGHT, AND FLEXIBILITY
As you well know, the global marketplace is volatile: regulations, economic
conditions, competitive factors, and consumer buying behavior are in constant
flux. Market consolidation and reductions in demand lead companies to
downsize, cut production, consolidate operations, and curb plans forgrowth and expansion. Organizations must move quickly to address challenges
and seize opportunities. But operational efficiency, effectiveness, and
performance may suffer across the enterprise as a result.
Leading companies realize that to succeed they must deploy strategies faster
than the rest of the market and close the gap between core strategic goals
and operational execution. With IT as a strategic partner in the business, yourtechnology can help keep you ahead of the competition as your operations
gain agility to support continuous business improvement.
Technology is integral to core business processes – without IT, business
doesn’t get done. In supporting core business processes, IT contributes
to your success in a critical way. Yet strategic IT must go further to
advance cost-saving measures and strengthen relationships, not onlyacross the enterprise, but also throughout your ecosystem.

Toward a Business-DrivenEnterprise Architecture
IT needs to help the business createnew processes, products, and servicesto drive revenues and profits while
continuing to support core operationsefficiently and effectively. To meetthese diverse challenges, savvy ITorganizations are adopting a flexibleservice-oriented architecture (SOA) andunified technology platform. Based onopen standards, SOA facilitates andenables connectivity and communication with partners beyond organizationalboundaries. And SOA does so withgreater ease and at lower cost thantraditional information architectures
can offer.
SOA is an open IT architecture in which functionality can be groupedaround business processes andpackaged as interoperable services.
These interoperable services act asinterchangeable process buildingblocks to deliver specific services toapplications. This allows you to extendbusiness processes, for example, fromordering to inventory to accounting –
without having to change underlyingapplications.
Support for Best-in-ClassBusiness Processes
All SAP® Business Suite applicationsare based on the SAP NetWeaver®technology platform, which integratesthem naturally and with relative ease.SAP NetWeaver integrates your non-SAP applications across the enterprise
as well. This helps your business usersget needed information faster becausethe applications can interact with eachother even if they were not originallydesigned to do so. Your businesscontent becomes accessible to applica-
tions, business processes, and analyt-ics functionality. SAP NetWeaver isalso the ideal technology platform tointegrate SAP and non-SAP software.It reduces total cost of ownershipacross the entire IT landscape and
supports the evolution of applicationsto SOA, the extensible architecturethat SAP NetWeaver is designed toleverage.
With SAP NetWeaver, you can transition your existing IT infrastructure into a moreflexible environment. You gain the tech-nical foundation and tools to compose,extend, and rearrange your businessprocesses. And, as you would expect, you are able to efficiently orchestrate
and manage those processes. In addi-tion, SAP NetWeaver provides supportfor best-in-class business processesand allows you to deploy solutions ata pace that suits your organization’sgrowth plans and strategic goals.

that empower you to run, manage,improve, and adapt business processes.In addition, you gain insight on howto optimize performance and where toreduce costs.
SAP NetWeaver unifies your technologyon a single platform to reduce IT com-plexity and costs across a heteroge-neous environment of enterpriseapplications, point solutions, legacy
software, and data silos. As a result, you can consolidate applications, data,and user interfaces (see Figure 2).
This frees your IT resources to focuson developing and implementingstrategic, innovative software that adds value to your business network.
Because SAP NetWeaver is based onopen standards, you gain a technologicalfoundation for improved communication.Better communication supports efficientcollaboration with business units acrossthe enterprise. Yet SAP NetWeaver
extends IT beyond the organization,letting you strengthen relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners
to build solutions and innovatestrategies with members throughout your ecosystem.

SOA is an open IT architecture in which functionality can be grouped around businessprocesses and packaged as interoperable services that act as interchangeable processbuilding blocks to deliver specific services to applications. This allows you to extendbusiness processes, for example, from ordering to inventory to accounting – withouthaving to change underlying applications. SAP NetWeaver is the technical foundationfor SOA.
