Integrating third-party software into SAP
By: Christiane Stagge
The SAP NetWeaver technology platform integrates third-party software into SAP systems, enabling users to program new applications. Here, we show you a number of ways you can benefit from using it.
Diverse, yet uniform: Integrating third-party software into SAP with SAP NetWeaver (Foto: Lufthansa AG)
In 2009, around 76 million passengers flew with Lufthansa. The company is more than just Europe’s largest airline, however: Lufthansa AG is a global corporate group consisting of Lufthansa Cargo, Lufthansa Technik, Lufthansa Systems, LSG Sky Chefs, and 400 other subsidiaries.
Many large corporations like Lufthansa AG are made up of multiple divisions typically originating from the acquisition of other companies. With all of the individual departments often having different IT systems, the challenge lies in integrating them and enabling them to work together.
So how can a huge corporate group with hundreds of subsidiaries implement uniform IT and still maintain the flexibility needed to support future in-house software?
SAP NetWeaver: Uniform diversity
The SAP NetWeaver technology platform makes it possible to standardize data and integrate third-party systems and software – all without giving up custom developments. The key is the uniform user interface the platform presents to employees no matter what system they are currently in. Despite coming from varying technical origins, all users can seamlessly utilize the same system. SAP NetWeaver also maintains authorization concepts, granting employees access to only the data they need for their work. Meanwhile, Collaboration Rooms give them a place to obtain generally available information – such as documents and schedule planners.
