development approach focuses on
distributing development across the
world in strategically important
markets. A global network of SAP
Labs spanning Bulgaria, Canada,

VIII. SAP and Enterprise
Service-Oriented
Architecture
Service-oriented architecture moves
the ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning) landscape toward software-
based and web services-based business
activities. This move increases
adaptability, flexibility, openness and
efficiency. The move towards E-SOA
helps companies reuse software
components and not have to rely as
much on in-house ERP hardware
technologies which helps make ERP
adoption more attractive for small- or
mid-sized companies.
According to a press fact sheet from
SAP, "SAP is the only enterprise
applications software vendor that is
both building service-orientation
directly into its solutions and providing
a technology platform SAP NetWeaver
and guidance to support companies in
the development of their own service-
oriented architectures spanning both
SAP and non-SAP solutions."

TECHNICAL
SOLUTIONS
In 1973, the SAP R/1 solution was
launched. Six years later, in 1979, SAP
launched SAP R/2. In 1981, SAP
brought a completely re-designed
solution to market. With the change
from R/2 to R/3 in 1992, SAP followed
the trend from mainframe computing to
client-server architectures. The
development of SAP’s internet strategy
with mySAP.com redesigned the
concept of business processes
(integration via Internet).SAP was
awarded Industry Week’s Best
Managed Companies in 1999
