What is happening in business that drives the software business
•Rapid business model change imposes need for rapid delivery of new capability
•Hardwired business processes are great for stable “non-differentiated” business process, but suicide for innovators
•Commoditisation of technology layers leads to low cost entry and industrialisation
IMPLIES
•Forced redesign to allow rapid innovation of software while keeping quality and stability of context processes
•Decoupled process model to allow agility
•Agility to move from core to context at the pace of business
•Agility to rapidly remodel processes without restrictions

Key Enterprise SOA development initiatives
•Make the entire product base “service enabled”
•Ensure usability by the wider “non-SAP” community
•Deliver beyond SOA to include logical interconnectivity not just technical or semantic interoperability
•Provide a technology platform and process composition environment for SAP development, and our customers, but keep it open for the wider community
•Create logical Enterprise Services packages as working starting points for composites
•Accelerate adoption through the Software Developer Network community
•Establish Industry focused Value Networks

What makes a Service an Enterprise Service?
Readability Compare it to a book
– Global data type – the letters available to build meaningful words– Messages and service cut – the sentences have the same grammar– Taxonomies of Process Components, Business Objects, Interfaces
- the chapters in the book have the same structure
Reuse The reuse of services makes up the value
of the ESR
