NetWeaver Philosophy 101: SAP’s Enterprise Services Architecture
ESA: An Architecture for Developing and Deploying Composite Applications Based on Interoperable Services
The Basic Unit of Work is A Service, Not Application, Data or API
Service: Any Application, Process, or Data Element that Can Be Used to Build Composite Applications
Composite Applications: Applications that Take Existing Services and Value-added Functionality To Create Entirely New Capabilities
Composite Apps Eliminate Spreadsheets and White Boards

NetWeaver Philosophy 101: New Applications Development
ESA (NetWeaver) is Both Development and Deployment Platform
Java and/or ABAP Are Core Languages
NW Provides • Model-driven Development
• Business Process Modeling
• Workflow
• Integration
• Re-use, Scalability, Deployment
• Built-in BI Services
Hosted by
NetWeaver Philosophy 101: The Economic View
Use Existing Apps and Technology Infrastructure
Lower Total Cost of Ownership Through Leveraged Assets (Technology and Technical Knowledge)
Support Packaged Apps That Provide:• Built-in Business Process Knowledge
• Low-cost Deployment
• User (Peer) Support
Support Custom Apps That Provide:• Leveraged Business Process Knowledge
• Leveraged Infrastructure/Technology/Apps
• Alternative to IBM On Demand
Hosted by
NetWeaver Philosophy 101: xApps and Composite Apps
Composite Applications Based on NW, MySAP
Business Suite, and External Services
xApp: Innovation Outside MySAP Business Suite
Composite App: Innovation within MySAP
Both Can Become Future Parts of Suite
