NetWeaver Process Orchestration in 2012

Posted by Eduardo Chiocconi Jan 21, 2013

It is that time of the year when you start looking back to your accomplishments and set the goals for the year coming ahead. You do it with personal life (hope so ;)) and also on the business side as well.

I cannot help but feel very happy with SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration performance during 2012. Not only it has established itself as a recognized brand for SAP on the middleware space providing more to our customers in the end, but it has continued to grow at double digit pace for year another year. This is a testament to the value our solution brings to our Customers' day in an out, and gives us the energy internally to push for more.

This is why during 2012, we launched 3 new solutions to market:

SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration B2B Add-On, bringing B2B integration capabilities to the existing Process Orchestration portfolio owned and maintained by SAP,
SAP NetWeaver Decision Service Management -- as a way to strengthen our rules portfolio for ABAP custom development scenarios – still accepting Customers to join RampUp and
SAP Operational Process Intelligence powered by SAP HANA -- bringing better real-time process visibility in scenarios involving multiple backend applications including Business Suite, SAP NetWeaver BPM and others – also still accepting RampUp Customers' nominations.

These solutions not only help strengthen our portfolio from a completeness perspective, but they also address what our customers have been asking us over time.

If you are interested in joining any of the RampUp processes post a comment in this blog or send me a message.

As we look forward into 2013, we renew our vows to keep delivering. Our adoption is stronger than ever and it is our goal to continue to grow this business hand in hand with our community.

Thank you for your support and we hope for an even better 2013 together!

The SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration Solution Management and Product Management team would like to let our Process Orchestration community know that the Solution Roadmap for SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration is now available on Service Marketplace. In addition, you should be able to find more detailed technical Product Roadmap specifics for NetWeaver Business Process Management, NetWeaver Business Rules Management and NetWeaver Process Integration as well. Both these roadmaps will be found on the Database & Technology section.

This information can be accessed by SAP employees, customers and partners granted they have access to Service Marketplace.

We are very excited to share these roadmaps publicly with our community to increase transparency. This not only allows communication where the solution is going forward but it would also allow current solution users to better align and plan forward.

Process Orchestration in action - Demo showcasing extension of SAP CRM

Posted by Eduardo Chiocconi Aug 2, 2011

In this blog, I wanted to share a general purpose demo recording I created to show case how the combination of different SAP solutions including SAP NetWeaver BPM/Composition Environment (CE), SAP NetWeaver Business Rules Management (BRM) and integration with SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) can bring more value when used together.

The demo is centered around the situation of helping a utilities company to create their own and specific business process to promote the usage of Smart Meter devices on their customer base to gain insight and do better energy administration. On the customer side, there is a change to better understand how they consume energy and take advantage of new programs where it is possible to save on their monthly bill using energy in non peak hour times.

Take a look at the demo recording through this link (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn?rid=/library/uuid/d00b8765-5f9a-2e10-a7b5-b006dddce952) and experience how all the solutions mentioned before can be used to make a difference in creating process centric applications that are flexible for change and capitalize on the model driven nature tooling to produce these in a much shorter timeframe when compared to other more development centric approaches.

Enjoy !
