• Examples for involved Business Objects:– Individual Material (corresponds Equipment)

– Installation Point (corresponds Functional Location)

– Maintenance Order

– Maintenance Request (corresponds to notification)

– Maintenance Plan

• Examples for Enterprise Services (of about 65):– Install Individual Material 

– Create Maintenance Order

– Find Maintenance Request by Individual Material and Installation Point

– Find Employee by Work Center

– Create Maintenance Confirmation

Integration Steps

12

• Use Cases Which Are a Base for Most Other Use Cases• Launch Geo EAM and Zoom to Desired Location

• Use Cases Related to Search• Search for Technical Object(s)• Find Notification(s) or Work Order(s)

• Use Cases Related to Business Object Maintenance• Create Functional Location(s)• Create Equipment(s)• Create an Awareness Area• Change Technical Object(s) (includes Update Counter(s)

and Link Document(s))• Delete Technical Object(s)• Determine Location of Resources• Create Equipment Object Link• Delete Equipment Object Link

• Use Cases Related to Preventive Maintenance Setup• Set Up Preventive Maintenance for Technical Object(s)

• Use Cases Related to Transactional Work Management• Create Notification(s)• Create Work Order(s)• View Notification(s) / Work Order(s) for a Technical Object• Show Analytical Report of Open Notifications and Work Orders• Change Notification (includes Close Notification)

ESRI’s SAP Integration Strategy• Support Netweaver Platform/Tools as Demand Dictates

• Work with SAP IBUs

• Share Experiences and Best Practices 

• Encourage and support ecosystem partners who build solutions (such as GISConneX or System Integrators)

• Accelerates Integration Project – Fast implementation because the engine is ready

• Integration Project Best Practices– Expertise in GIS‐ESRI and SAP technologies– Expertise in integration projects

• Minimize Risks• Saves money

– Don’t waste time and resources to test and develop a very specialized solution. 

• Integration solution continuity– Product maintenance across different versions (SAP and GIS) and up 

to dated with technology evolution• Provides data integrity

Advantages of Packaged Integration

Requirements to Packaged integration

• Adaptable to customer requirements– Should provide configuration environment

– Scalable architecture

• Based on industries standards– Integration platform, web‐services

• Certification (from SAP and ESRI)– Best practices compliance

– Data integrity and security
