SAP Business One roadmap – 2010-2014

Versions 8.81 , 8.82 , 9.0

Today:

Business Solution

Objective: Business Platform


SAP Business One Integration framework (B1if)

Network of Solutions Supporting Network of Business and People

B1i as the platform for integration & collaboration

Integrates business partners, employees, etc. across system environments

Unifies business processes and automates operations across the ecosystem


Important definitions

Is and Is not!

B1if IS strategy for SAP B1 to enable the evolution from a Business Application to a

Business Platform

B1if IS NOT a tool.

Main task

Enable SAP B1 to publish data (send) to external systems and to allow SAP B1 to

consume data (access) from external data provider.

Licensing

B1if is free of charge for all customers holding an SAP B1 license.


B1if Key Aspects

Operational Efficiency

Standardized and automated operations

Full transparency and real-time insight

Improved collaboration

Consistent data and tight integration

Fast Implementation

Easy customization and extendibility

Structured framework and tools

Fully aligned with SAP overall technologies (PI, RFC, etc.)

Low TCO

Lightweight architecture: requires minimal skill set and reduces maintenance (can be run on a laptop and has a low processing overhead)

Investment protection as B1if follows established integration standards (XML, XSLT, HTTP)

Reduced administrative burden


B1if and B1iSN

B1iSN(SAP Business One Integration for SAP NetWeaver)

B1if(SAP Business One Integration framework)

System Landscape Directory, Connectivity and Payload types

All connectivity details for all IN/OUT calls are specified in the SLD (System

Landscape Directory).

The calls during processing are done via the logical address (SysId) or directly via

Connectivity Types / Payload Types.

Market Strategy

Three levels to enable a huge partner community with different skills

Usage of out-of-the-box Scenario Packages with full automatic setup to address Customers and Small

Partners with a very low entry point.

Config & Run: Setup, config and extend existing Scenario Packages to address Integration Consultants

Build & Run: Develop individual Scenario Packages to address Senior Integration Consultants or

Integration Developers

Logical Model: Scenario Packages & Scenario Steps

Scenario Package (vPac)

• Is developed by SAP or a Partner as a product or on project-level for a concrete Customer

• Is the Unit of SW logistics (import/export/activation)

• Is covering an integration use case

Scenario Step (vBIU)

Is associated to a concrete Scenario Package

Is covering a concrete integration flow

Asynchronous from Sender SysType to Receiver SysType

Synchronous for a Sender SysType

Dashboards (sap.Xcelsius)

Provide generic services to be called from SAP B1 to administer, authenticate, cache and

launch any SAP Crystal Dashboard (formerlyXcelsius) based dashboard, be it shipped by

SAP or developed by the partner or the customer.
