Typical Integration Scenarios A2A
Client Profile:
FMCG Organization (Fortune 500) with revenues over $20B
Large # of heterogenous IT landscape apps portfolio (over 20 different SAP instances &
nearly 50+ other application envts)
Core Enterprise SAP backbone but also several other apps stacks in diff geographies
Over 10,000 users on SAP, SAP extension products primarily in NA but other regions
have best of breed strategy
Mainframe for data warehouse consolidation & financial reporting

Issues in A2A Integration
To enable seamless interoperability across different app envts
To manage workflow and other processes that span multi-app envts (e.g. OTC
across SiebelSAP envts or i2/Manugistics integration with SAP on SCM side
integrating Crystal or Cognos for enterprise reporting
Real time nature of applications (latency issues w.r.t application response)
Geographical diversity in application footprint on a/c of mergers/acquisitions &
possibly federated architectural standards
Too many point to point interfaces or investment in generic middleware
platform adds to cost of maintenance & testing

Issues in B2B Integration
IT Landscape
Mostly monolithic internally w.r.t SAP across the IT organization
Need for strong external integration across different partners -OEMs large distributors
etc.
Existing Infrastructure - Hard coded interfaces, proprietary data formats, static
inoperable web services, processes at partners embedded in their application code
Supplier and client systems on SAP & non-SAP technologies
IT Architecture needs to enable quick and easy connectivity & component based
assembling of apps on the fly
Dynamic ability to make changes in application functionality to keep pace with
external market realities

Key B2B NW Integration Technologies - IDOC, othernative SAP technologies (BAPI, RFC), PCK, industry
specific adaptors
NW Development Framework (in 2004s) enables
component based integration development &
provides range of toolsets & graphical development
capability (Visual Composer, Developer Studio etc.)to enable ease of adoption by both business users &
IT developers alike
Other standards framework are driving increasing
adoption
Evaluation of SAP XI Integration v/s dynamic
Internet based Information exchange with partners(publish and subscribe frameworks for demand
mgmt & order processing scenarios)
Number of integration layers to back end real-time
order processing systems from partner systems
increase integration challenge (H)
Netweaver suitability for B2B Envts
Consider NW as viableintegration option if integration
is not spanning multiple layers,
or one can build common
application framework which
can be used for most of
external entities (suppliers /customers)
If existing investments are
already in place w.rt .NET or
Websphere, a more careful
evaluation needs to be done
w.r.t switching to Netweaver as
SAP provides good
interconnectivity options with
these partner technologies
