Business is changing at an ever-increasing rate. To keep pace,
you need to rapidly adapt your manufacturing processes to new imperatives
and opportunities, without impacting ongoing operations. However,
updating ERP functionality with associated coding changes can be
highly complex, made ever-more challenging with the shift to overseas
operations.
Establishing competitive advantage requires innovative strategies
that resolve the gap between business needs and IT reality. You
must also ensure enterprise applications are not only high-performance
business engines driving efficiencies, but also flexible building
blocks of future business systems, that adapt rapidly to evolving
business needs. Service oriented-architecture (SOA) can empower
your organisation to adapt to business change and leverage your
existing systems. SAP is leading the SOA charge with its SAP NetWeaver
platform that marks a clear shift away from continual ‘rip
& replace’ to deliver a future where the old and the new
can be weaved together in a true leave & layer strategy.
The web event's programme includes:
Introduction by Simon Pollard, Discrete Manufacturing Industrial
Principal, EMEA NEWS, SAP AG.
What is Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)’...and
what can it mean to you?
Dr. Khalid Mansour, CIBER US, Vice President & Global Practice
Leader, Enterprise Integration
Our Keynote speaker, Dr. Khalid Mansour will explain the new architecture,
allow you to understand its impact and explore the benefits available
to you. Khalid will share his thoughts on how this method can help
you align your IT systems with your business goals, with focus placed
on how the business becomes empowered to determine what goals are
important, and align IT accordingly. The presentation will focus
on two key themes - coping with business change and Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO).
Demonstration – Design, Develop and Deploy customised
applications
Simon Williams, Product Manager, CIBER UK
Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA) - SAP's brand name for
it’s own SOA platform is realised with SAP NetWeaver®.
This presentation will provide a demonstration of the SAP NetWeaver®
platform, the core concept of building business processes along
IT practices, and highlight the new SAP NetWeaver® Visual Composer
tool, that allows you to create flexible business applications quickly
and cost-effectively - without having to write a single line of
code.
- Create efficient, customised and streamlined business processes
- Accelerate the application development process
- Reuse existing applications and create content using a modelling
process and a visual user interface instead of manual coding
- Combine the transactional and analytical worlds into one integrated
experience within the business process
- How this will make the ‘business systems experience’
easier, more acceptable to the people that actually do the job
and more adaptable to inevitable business change
