8/11

and the eighth worldwide. The facility

is located in Sao Leopoldo in the state

of Rio Grande do Sul and employs 375

people. Of particular note are the

buildings structure and interior, which

are composed entirely of

environmentally friendly materials.

Since these materials were not

available in Brazil, constructing the

facility did not come cheap for SAP.

However, Erwin Rezelman director

of SAP Labs Brazil emphasizes that

the project was an effort not only tocreate a green house in Latin

America, but also to design offices

with a pleasant work atmosphere.

SAP Labs Brazil has just received

Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design (LEED) Gold

certification for the building.

VIII. SAP and Enterprise

Service-Oriented

Architecture

Service-oriented architecture movesthe ERP (Enterprise Resource

Planning) landscape toward software-

based and web services-based business

activities. This move increases

adaptability, flexibility, openness and

efficiency. The move towards E-SOA

helps companies reuse software

components and not have to rely as

much on in-house ERP hardware

technologies which helps make ERP

adoption more attractive for small- or

mid-sized companies.

According to a press fact sheet from

SAP, "SAP is the only enterprise

applications software vendor that is

both building service-orientation

directly into its solutions and providing

a technology platform SAP NetWeaver

and guidance to support companies in

the development of their own service-

oriented architectures spanning both

SAP and non-SAP solutions."
