THE FASTER THINGS MOVE, THE MORE YOU NEED SOA.
WHEN BUSINESS CHANGES FAST, YOU HAVE TO MOVE FASTER. ACROSS EVERY SECTOR,
BUSINESS CONTINUES TO CHANGE AT AN EVER-INCREASING RATE.
SIMPLY KEEPING PACE DEMANDS THAT YOU ADAPT YOUR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES WITHOUT HESITATION, AND THAT YOU DO SO WITHOUT JEOPARDISING
ONGOING OPERATIONS. HOWEVER, UPDATING ERP FUNCTIONALITY WITH ALL THE ASSOCIATED
CODING CHANGES CAN BE A HIGHLY COMPLEX UNDERTAKING, MADE EVEN MORE CHALLENGING
BY THE SHIFT TO OVERSEAS OPERATIONS.
It’s undoubtedly a demanding scenario, but one in which you can
establish decisive competitive advantage, principally through 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
respond productively to business change and leverage existing systems. SAP
is leading the advance of SOA with its SAP NetWeaver® platform that
marks a clear shift from a continual cycle of rip & replace, to a future
where the old and the new can be weaved together in a true leave & layer
strategy.
Agenda
What is Service-Oriented Architecture 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 explains the new architecture,
enabling you to understand its impact and explore the benefits available
to you. Khalid also shares his thoughts on how this method can help you
align your IT systems to your business goals, focusing on how the business
becomes empowered to determine which goals are important, and align IT accordingly.
The presentation will centre on two key themes – coping with business
change and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Developing and deploying customised applications.
Simon Williams, Product Manager, CIBER UK
Enterprise Services Architecture – SAP’s own SOA platform
– is realised with SAP NetWeaver®. Simon demonstrates this new
platform and the core concept of building business processes along IT practices.
Focus is also placed on SAP NetWeaver® Visual Composer, the new tool
for creating flexible business applications quickly and cost-effectively
without writing a line of code. Simon explains how this makes the ‘business
systems experience’ easier, more acceptable to the people who actually
do the job, and more adaptable to inevitable business change.
