The integration platform SAP NetWeaver offers open integration technologies which support a process oriented collaboration between SAP- and non-SAP-components within and beyond the boundaries of the individual enterprise.
If individual components on which business processes are based are shared on heterogeneous systems, changes in these components can be very cost-intensive. The SAP Exchange Infrastructure reduces the costs of a real integration and eliminates all obstacles which get in the way of such an integration.
The knowledge for accessing functions, system integration and process support is consolidated in a knowledge data base.
SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure overcomes the typical problems when integrating several systems within an individual IT environment:
- Perfect openness - SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure is built on standard technologies such as web services, XML messaging as well as Java- and J2EE standards (Java 2 Enterprise Edition). Thus flexibility and expandability are secured for the future.
- Life Cycle Management for your solution - SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure covers the whole life cycle of your software including design, development, commissioning and modification. It provides SAP integration knowledge and enables you due to collaboration contents and implementation knowledge of 3rd party suppliers to establish a partner network.
- Reduces total operating costs - SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure separates integration related knowledge from underlying application code. Thereby a reliable and scalable IT infrastructure is created which integrates likewise SAP and non-SAP-components.
