HP's expanded SOA services tighten SAP partnership
HP's expanded SOA services tighten SAP partnership: "For newer SAP customers, HP will offer an envisioning service based on SAP's Discovery System that includes user education and identifying potential projects. The Discovery System is a combination of tools and standard software components that helps customers develop their own SOA applications. It sells for $10,000.
'Many clients haven't started the upgrade path yet,' said Tim Treat, manager of worldwide packaged applications for enterprise applications services for HP. 'And we don't expect most to do this as a 'big bang.''
For customers who are already familiar with SOA and NetWeaver, HP will offer an assessment service consisting of software portfolio analysis, cost saving analysis and identification of project starting points. "
