SAP Netweaver

SAP BASIS is a unique layer in the SAP architecture.

The BASIS component acts as a bridge between the computing infrastructure such as Operating System, Database, Network Architecture, and the various modules in SAP.

SAP Authorisations & Identity Management (SAP & Enterprise)
The SAP R/3 authorisation concept permits the assignment of general and/or finely detailed user authorisations. These assignments can reach down to the transaction, field and field value level. These authorisations are centrally administered in user master records. Actions by a user may require several authorisations.

SAP NetWeaver Identity Management helps companies to centrally manage their user accounts (identities) in a complex system landscape. This includes both SAP and non-SAP systems. The solution provides an authoritative, single source of user information and enables self-service management of user information and authorizations using workflow technology.

SAP SSO (Single Sign-On) Design & Deployment
There are different scenarios and environment variables for Single Sign-On to SAP Systems.

Middleware & SAP PI (Process Integration)
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) middleware facilitates communication between disparate applications and systems based on the exchange of XML messages. With SOA middleware, we can accelerate business integration and use standards-based web services to form new and innovative business solutions that meet our customers’ changing business needs quickly.

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) provides SOA foundation capabilities for customers. Using SAP NetWeaver PI, customers can leverage enterprise services delivered by SAP, enable their existing investments in third-party and legacy applications by integrating them into their landscape and also service enabling the functions delivered in these applications.

SAP NetWeaver PI mainly leverages functionalities for service enablement and service and process orchestration, and makes extensive tools and concepts available for SOA management. One of the cornerstones of the new release is the Enterprise Services Repository - the central repository where enterprise service definitions are stored and maintained.

Cloud Computing Strategy, Model & Design
Cloud computing have the following core characteristics: transparent scalability, usage-based billing, and off-premises operation.

More broadly, cloud computing can be thought of as the urge to stop worrying about how the bits flow in an organisation, in order to focus on how the flow of bits can create business value.

Infrastructure Optimisation, Virtualisation & Footprint Reduction

In traditionally installed landscapes the SAP system is installed on a dedicated physical server. Calibrated to meet peak demand rather than average demand, these dedicated servers are seldom used to full capacity. This leads to a high rate of IT spend for both hardware and maintenance - even as your IT infrastructure remains underutilized. Virtualization technology addresses this problem.

With virtualization, you can spread application instances across available server resources to maximize infrastructure utilization. You also have the flexibility to move applications from server to server as circumstances dictate.

With virtualization solutions, your SAP solutions-based development, test, training, and production environments can cost less and be more productive than within a purely physical infrastructure. From server consolidation and containment to business process and data center automation, the full range of virtualization benefits can be applied to all sizes of SAP deployments. You can dynamically rebalance applications while increasing resource utilization across your test, development, Q&A, training and production environments.  This enables our customers to leverage the agility provided by SAP NetWeaver® enhancement packages to its full capacity.
