NetWeaver & Composite Applications

Delivering SOA-enabled Composite Applications

SAP NetWeaver Components

SAP NetWeaver (now also referred to as the Business Process Platform) is the SAP technology foundation. Netweaver is the platform for new SAP applications to be built and incorporates a number of technology components including Integration, Portals, and Application Composition and Development capabilities.

AgilityWorks provide high-calibre SAP Netweaver consultants with the latest skills in:

  • SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP PI / XI)
  • SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal (SAP EP)
  • SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP MDM)
  • SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment (SAP CE)
  • SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
  • SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer

SAP E-SOA

Service Oriented Architecture is a design principle whereby applications are composed of loosely coupled services (defined using industry standards) that can communicate with each other. There is broad industry agreement that SOA sits at the heart of flexible technology solutions for the future offering:

  • Reduced integration cost
  • Adaptable business processes
  • Improved asset reuse
  • Reduced business risk
  • Improved transparency

SAP Enterprise SOA uses enterprise services to deliver adaptable, flexible and open IT architectures. SAP's Enterprise Services typically combine a series of underlying web services with defined process logic, thus creating an enterprise service that can be accessed and used repeatedly to support a particular business process.
Importantly, the SAP technology foundation provides clients with the opportunity to compose applications (as well as buy packaged applications or develop applications) leveraging SAP and partner enterprise services.

Composition Environment

Composite applications access functionality via service-enabled interfaces. The SAP Composition Environment provides a suite of tools for developing and running composite applications.

All of our technology consultants have a sound appreciation for SOA and the implications for effectively architecting enterprise SOA solutions. Enterprise SOA offers organisations the opportunity to take a significant step towards transparent processes that are defined once (using open standards) that can be deployed through a suite of technologies depending on the usage need. AgilityWorks see Master Data Management as a critical enabler for enterprise SOA adoption as consistent master data becomes critical for integrating services.
