Today’s Integration Challenge

Integration costs are highLots of heterogeneous systems

Long integration projects

IT environments become increasingly inflexible

Pressure on IT increasesMust leverage existing investments

Must show quick results,return of investment (ROI)

Must reduce total cost of ownership (TCO)

Ways to Lower TCO and increase ROI

Reduce complexityReuse components

Minimize the number of connections through hubs

Use only 1 platform to integrate all people, information, and systems

Reduce custom integrationDeliver .NET and J2EE interoperability

Deliver adaptors for products of independent software vendors

Increase company performanceIncrease ease of use, scalability and adaptability

Increase business process flexibility by using SAP Enterprise Services Architecture

Component-based Software

AdvantagesImprove software qualityShorter time-to-marketReduce risksLower costs

DisadvantagesEach component has its own lifecycleHigh test efforts to guarantee interoperabilityComplex maintenance and test landscape

RemarkLegal changes and pressure of market are leading to incompatible changesIncompatible changes must be describedby introducing of dependencies (component modeling)

Software Deployment in System Landscapes

Plan changes to the system landscapeDesign and reengineer landscapes

Enable change management for landscapes

Calculate change paths for landscapes

Generate instructions/actions/scripts for calculated change paths

Apply changes to the existing system landscape Installation of additional components

Upgrade / patch of existing components

System copy / migration / removal of existing components

Configuration of technical connectivity between existing and newComponents (new -> existing, existing -> new)

Statistics from actual SAP products

mySAP Business Suite consist of 11 main products:

mySAP Business Intelligence

mySAP Customer Relationship Mgmt.

mySAP Enterprise Portal

mySAP ERP

mySAP Financials

mySAP Human Resources

mySAP Marketplace

mySAP Mobile Business

mySAP Product Lifecycle Mgmt.

mySAP Supplier Relationship Mgmt.

mySAP Supply Chain Mgmt.

mySAP Business Suite can be individual build from:

~ 600 Software Components(including all addons)

in ~ 2000 Releases

with ~ 10000 Patchlevels

SAP AG 2003, 20

Methods to control complexity

Use SAP NetWeaver as integration platformUse product line engineering

Functional richness

Install additional applications on top of this platform

Use this platform to integrate old systems

Reduce PossibilitiesIntroduce restrictions into component modeling

Don’t allow all combinations of Software Components

Assemble Software Components to prebuild units(SAP NetWeaver itself is such a unit)

Use landscape patterns

Don’t allow all combinations of patchlevels
