SAP NetWeaver is a web-based, open integration and application platform that serves as the foundation for enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) and allows the integration and alignment of people, information, and business processes across business and technology boundaries. It utilizes open standards to enable integration with information and applications from almost any source or technology. SAP NetWeaver is the foundation of SAP Business Suite and SAP Business By Design, and also powers partner solutions and customer custom-built applications. SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management, a new component of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform, can provide the business process flexibility you need to turn strategic business insight into real-world execution.
