RSSSAP – Pushing its SOA Platform
SAP is promoting their Enterprise Service Architecture (ESA) with Customers, software developers and other partners attending SAP AG's TechEd workshop in Vienna.
Announced in 2003, ESA uses Web services protocols and SAP's own NetWeaver middleware platform to enable the crafting of business processes over heterogeneous applications. The ESA Adoption Program is designed for users looking to evolve their IT infrastructure without completely taking down their existing installations.
SAP is reaching out to ISVs (independent software vendors) to develop ESA-ready products and create an application ecosystem.It expects more than 32 percent of its customers base to be on NetWeaver by the end of the year, according to Agassi, SAP board member and president of the company's product and technology group.
