Key Capability

Description

Portal

This capability provides industry-leading portal technology that delivers unified, personalized, and role-based user access to your heterogeneous IT environment.

SAP NetWeaver Business Client (With PCD Connection)

The SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC, Business Client) is a rich client providing optimal end-to-end performance, familiar desktop integration, and dramatically improved user experience. It allows consumption of portal services, application content and tasks directly from the back-end systems. The NWBC bridges the gap between today’s thick clients (such as SAP GUI) and the browser access used to access SAP NetWeaver Portal.

Collaboration

Collaboration promotes cooperation in enterprises using virtual team rooms (Collaboration Rooms), real-time communication (chat and application sharing) and the use of third-party groupware and synchronous collaboration (for example, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, and WebEx). Because of the close integration with Portal and Knowledge Management, it is easy to reuse their content.

Multi-Channel Access

With Multi-Channel Access, you can connect to enterprise systems through web-based, voice, mobile, messaging, or radio-frequency technology. Multi-channel Access includes an universal and secure Mobile Infrastructure to enable mobile business applications.
