SAP announced plans for the release of SAP NetWeaver
Business Process Management and SAP NetWeaver Business Rules Management. The
addition of these planned capabilities will further establish SAP NetWeaver as
the strategic platform of choice for customers that execute a service-oriented
architecture (SOA) strategy. The new tools from SAP are aimed to provide the
business process flexibility needed to enable customers to turn strategic
business insight into real-world execution. A vital part of SAP's robust platform
offering, SAP NetWeaver allows IT organizations to drive more value by providing
the agility to respond to requests from the business for new or adapted
business processes. The addition of the planned capabilities will enable
business process experts to design, model and execute new or adapted business
processes without having to develop code. The SAP NetWeaver technology platform
and its full set of capabilities allows companies to accelerate the
consolidation of their IT landscapes, enabling them to enjoy new levels of the
business process flexibility used to drive innovation and competitive
advantage.
"The planned addition of business process management
tools to the SAP NetWeaver technology platform will further establish SAP
NetWeaver as the platform of choice for companies committed to a strategic
approach to IT," said Klaus Kreplin, corporate officer and member of the
Executive Council, head of SAP NetWeaver Technology, SAP AG. "The SAP
NetWeaver technology platform and SAP's leading end-to-end business processes
provide a consolidated IT landscape outfitted with the best tools to enable
innovation, ultimately leading to differentiation and a competitive edge for
our customers. SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management will be another
innovative offering to further enable users to make changes that are aligned
with business needs and ultimately drive business success."
Essential Components Enable Optimized Process Development
and Execution
SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management, developed at SAP
under the codename "Project Galaxy," is part of SAP NetWeaver(R)
Composition Environment and is planned to feature three major capabilities:
- The process composer
- The process server
- The process desk
Simplification, Rules Management and Execution Enable
Differentiation and Innovation
For organizations looking to utilize technology to drive
differentiation in the marketplace, business process management is a major
factor in success. Many business processes are standardized across departments,
regions and organizations. Business processes that differentiate a company from
its competitors are highly customized and typically need to be changed or
edited frequently to meet business needs. Creating business processes to
improve business performance and increased efficiencies is best achieved when
companies combine the right mix of standardized, end-to-end core processes with
flexible innovative tools that enable the creation of new processes that can be
immediately executed and reused across the enterprise.
SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management is planned to
provide customers a standardized, unified environment for the implementation
and management of complex, multifaceted business processes focusing on four
cornerstones:
- Unified modeling
- Business rules management
- Immediate execution speeds time to value
- Built-in efficiencies via Enterprise Services Repository
Further Strengthening the SAP NetWeaver Technology Platform
SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management and SAP NetWeaver
Business Rules Management are planned to be available to ramp-up customers in
Q3 2008 with general availability within the SAP NetWeaver Composition
Environment enhancement package 1 expected in early 2009. SAP NetWeaver
Business Process Management further delivers on the SAP NetWeaver innovation
road map. In the past year, SAP NetWeaver demonstrated increased adoption rates
with more than 38,700 total SAP NetWeaver deployments and more than 100 percent
revenue growth for 2007.
Business Process Community Enables Business Process
Management Collaboration
The design and modeling of differentiating business
processes is unique to each company. However, the ability to access
intelligence and best practices from a pool of experts in similar industries or
organizations serves to further speed time to value for customers. Launched in
late 2006 as part of the SAP community network, the SAP Business Process Expert
community now totals more than 350,000 members sharing best practices across 28
special interest communities organized by 18 industries, business process
management best practices, and solutions such as customer relationship
management and governance, risk and compliance.
Within the community, SAP NetWeaver Business Process
Management users can interact with peers around enterprise SOA and business
process design, access resources and learning opportunities, and accelerate
usage of business process management tools. Business Process Expert community
members also collaborate and address issues and trends facing IT organizations,
work together on definitions and implementations of new and cross-industry
processes, and accelerate discussions around emerging topics and issues among
fellow customers, partners and SAP.
