* Task management, guided procedures and content for operations
* Central operations console for SAP NetWeaver
* Unified agent infrastructure for administration and monitoring
* Uniform landscape-wide job scheduling

Since such an infrastructure consists of many different systems such management task have to be carried out in an unified, standards based way.
