Product Overview :
mySAP Business Suite is a comprehensive family of business applications that

allow companies to manage their entire value chain. The business applications
provide users with consistent results throughout the entire company network and
give your company the flexibility needed in today's dynamic market situations. It
consists of a number of different products that enable cross-company processes.
mySAP Business Suite offers a flexible software solution for larger companies
that have a large number of users and processes that are constantly changing.
Accounting, human resources, and logistics are the heart of every enterprise.
mySAP ERP encompasses all these vital business processes within a company
and provides functions for both corporate headquarters and small subsidiaries.
Every company can benefit from mySAP ERP.
mySAP ERP is designed in such a way that companies can implement only the
business functions they need when they need them, thus simplifying upgrades
and reducing total cost of ownership.
A small company with few employees and relatively stable processes can use
preconfigured SAP systems. mySAP All-in-One is the brand name for vertical
(industry-specific or country-specific) solutions that are based on the technology
of mySAP Business Suite and were developed in conjunction with SAP's partners.
All mySAP All-in-One partner solutions are certified by SAP and are provided and
implemented by SAP partners.
SAP Business One is a comprehensive, integrated ERP application with an

interface that is similar to Microsoft Windows. It is distinguished by simple
navigation and drilldown options, innovative Drag & Relate functions, and
integration with Microsoft Word and Excel.

SAP NetWeaver :
People Integration
People Integration ensures that your employees have the information and
functions that they require to perform their work as quickly and efficiently as
possible. The functions of the SAP NetWeaver Portal play a central role here.
Information Integration
Information Integration is used to manage all data relevant to companies.
This includes data for your own company and data relating to third parties.
Process Integration
Process Integration ensures that business processes run across system
boundaries in a heterogeneous system landscape. This is achieved by using
XML data packages and workflow scenarios, for instance. SAP NetWeaver
Exchange Infrastructure (SAP NetWeaver XI) plays a central role here.
Application Platform
The Application Platform supports Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and
ABAP (SAP's programming language) in one environment. It guarantees the
independence of databases and operating systems, the complete support of
platform-independent Web services and company applications, and an open
environment that is based on recognized standards. The central component
of the Application Platform is the SAP NetWeaver Application Server.
The SAP NetWeaver Application Platform is open and flexible.

The SAP NetWeaver Application Platform supports databases, applications,
operating systems, and hardware from almost every major vendor.
