SAP's future strategy is to place greater emphasis on applications and structured contents and to leave the management of unstructured contents and collaboration features to third-party vendors.
REALTECH will carefully assess this new SAP strategy with respect to Content Management, collaboration, and processes, thus enabling its customers to make the most of both worlds.
Their daily routines are forcing users to increasingly rely on a large number of applications – Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Word, SAP applications, websites and many more. Unwanted process interfaces and user interfaces with different features require users to familiarize themselves with various menus and functionalities. The seamless integration of SAP and collaboration processes with Microsoft Office SharePoint (MOSS) enables users to access their process steps in Microsoft Office. From now on, end users no longer have to leave their familiar environment with the well-known look & feel. In addition to delivering better usability, the use of MOSS also improves processing times and reduces the number of communication interfaces. This leads to a reduction in process costs.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is the perfect complement to the Enterprise Content Management solution. Moreover, the use of MOSS and other Microsoft products in the field of collaboration opens up many new opportunities with respect to the modern Web 2.0.
The integration of MOSS and SAP NetWeaver yields the greatest benefits in the field of SAP. The combination of the portal solutions from both vendors does not translate into cannibalization. On the contrary – both solutions fully leverage their respective strengths.
