SAP readying BI-boosted NetWeaver update
SAP readying BI-boosted NetWeaver update: "SAP is transitioning NetWeaver into the platform that will serve as the backbone of its applications and is slated to be service-enabled by 2007. The core applications will eventually be augmented by composite applications, either built by customers in-house or purchased from independent software vendors.
'SAP is becoming much more integrated in its approach to BI,' said Lothar Schubert, director of SAP NetWeaver marketing for BI and information management. 'In the BI space, larger players claim to have a BI platform. It's no longer reporting and planning tools, but an overall platform, where those technologies are brought together. SAP has that platform in NetWeaver.' "
