Leading companies realize that to succeed, they must deploy strategies faster than the competition – and close the gap between strategic goals and operational execution. With platform technology from SAP, you can keep your competitive edge with agile operations that can support continuous business improvement.

SAP delivers flexibility and responsiveness through:

• Service-oriented architecture – An open architecture in which functionality is aligned with business processes and packaged as interoperable services.  Built for flexibility, service-oriented architecture (SOA) helps IT meet diverse business challenges such as creating new services, processes, and products – with greater ease and at lower cost than traditional information architectures.

With SAP NetWeaver components, tools, and applications, you can orchestrate business processes, compose applications, and deploy innovative solutions.

The SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management (SAP NetWeaver BPM) component helps you model, execute, and monitor your business processes based on a common process model. It can help you improve the efficiency of business processes, reduce errors in complex repetitive tasks, and lower exception-handling costs.

With SAP NetWeaver BPM, you can compose process steps, define business rules and exceptions, model process flows using industry-standard business process modeling notation, execute process models efficiently, and support interaction with running processes via personalized user interfaces or interactive forms. You can also monitor business processes to improve process quality and efficiency.

SAP NetWeaver BPM provides the following tools:

• Process composer – Enables process architects and developers to create and debug executable business process models. Each business process model clearly defines the rules and exceptions governing the process steps that are performed by people or systems in response to specific business events.
• Process server – Executes process models without requiring brittle translation steps between the model and code, fully integrated with the runtime technology provided by SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment.
• Process desk – Allows process users to perform their assigned tasks while business processes are running. Users can access context-sensitive task screens through the standard SAP user interface or through universal work lists displayed via SAP NetWeaver Portal.
