Accelerating Value from SAP - Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Using SOA to extend and extract more value from SAP environments with IBM solutions

Just like you, many organizations have chosen business applications like SAP to manage your enterprise information and automate business processes. Without a doubt, SAP offers distinct advantages enabling you to make better decisions, increasing efficiency and improving customer satisfaction. However, despite these advantages, many SAP customers must contend with a number of business and IT issues which can detract from the overall value extracted from the SAP environment. Examples of these issues include:

• • Extending the value of SAP to the myriad of heterogeneous IT systems within the enterprise and across the extended supply chain.
  • Implementing upgrade strategies and approaches, considering the number of SAP instances and high degree of customization in their SAP landscape.
  • Developing and deploying practical approaches to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in a SAP-intensive IT environment.

That is why Summa and IBM would like to invite you to a breakfast seminar where you will hear what other SAP customers are doing to improve the value of their existing SAP technology investments. The seminar will be conducted in an open and collaborative manner in order to fully discuss examples, benchmarks and lessons learned.
