MAXIMIZE RETURN ON EXISTING SAP INTEGRATION INVESTMENTS.

webMethods for SAP is Software AG’s

comprehensive solution for integration and

B2B for SAP customers. It provides the

industry’s leading ESB technology to

address the entire spectrum of business

integration needs faced by global SAP-

centric organizations. It includes access to

webMethods’ broad range of application

and e-standards adapters for best-in-class

integration between SAP and third-party

environments.

webMethods or SAP is the latest version o

SAP’s original solution or integration – the

SAP Business Connector. The Business

Connector was an OEM version o web-

Methods integration platorm, and is still used

by thousands o customers today. The

webMethods or SAP solution represents the

most modern integration solution available,and is widely considered the strongest

solution or SAP integration with non-SAP

applications. Even in cases where companies

have deployed SAP NetWeaver Exchange

Inrastructure (XI) or SAP-to-SAP integration,

webMethods or SAP is critical requirement to

ensure optimal integration between SAP and

non-SAP systems, as well as or B2B

integration.

Existing Business Connector customers may

have attempted to migrate their Business

Connector deployments to SAP Netweaver XI,

but many are discovering XI requires a

complete re-coding o any mappings

perormed with the Business Connector --

oten taking months, i not longer!

webMethods or SAP is a cheaper, aster and

more efcient alternative to XI or SAP

customers who are looking to integrate non-

SAP applications and external trading partners

with components o their SAP Netweaver

architecture. webMethods or SAP includes

the core Integration Platorm, as well as

webMethods Trading Networks, which

provides additional capabilities or managing

business processes that extend to external

trading partners, suppliers and customers.

Furthermore, webMethods or SAP is a

seamless upgrade rom the Business

Connector and serves as an entry point to the

entire Sotware AG webMethods product suite,

providing organizations with the ability to

take complete advantage o the rich business

process management, business activity

monitoring and SOA Governance capabilities

oered by the webMethods solution.
