Integrating Applications 

Business processes can involve several integrated business applications. Application integration takes place on the user interaction and business logic layer.

●      UI Integration

User interface integration provides uniform content access that gives users a single point of access to all types of applications and enterprise information.

The Web-based user interface of the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal (SAP NW EP) provides uniform, role-based and secure access to day-to-day work and information resources. These resources include SAP applications, third-party applications, databases, data warehouses, desktop documents, Web contents, and services. SAP NW EP can search for internal and external sources, and gives access to structured and unstructured information from any geographical location throughout the organization.

●      Process Integration

Process integration provides the infrastructure for business applications, that run in distributed systems. Process integration acts as the messaging middleware for service communication, connectivity, transformation and portability.

Applications can also be connected directly with Web services (including the Web Service Reliable Messaging standard).

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NW PI) has the technology to build flexible, reliable and scalable business solutions. It supports the integration of third-party components of any vendor on any technology stack.
