Service Implementation Workbench (SIW) is a component of SAP NetWeaver that allows you to create, implement, and re-create enterprise services quickly and easily in a semi-automated and guided process. It offers you a single point of entry for your service development. The systematic and simplified monitoring and guided mapping support helps you to avoid additional monitoring overhead and recurring manual tasks during the whole development process and after implementation. By using standardized templates and reusable coding, it improves quality, speed, and harmonization of service implementations. SIW supports different types of service creation processes, the outside-in approach (proxy-based service creation type) and the inside-out approach (API-based service creation type). The tool uses projects to organize the service implementation process.

You can also use SIW with older NetWeaver releases. To do so, you need special adapters for remote service generation. For more information, see note 1503479 (SIW-Adapter: Generate SIW Objects Remotely).
