Making the move to Service-Oriented Architecture brings with it decided business advantages, offering you innovative, flexible ways to solve business problems.
SOA can also bring significant cost savings, as you deploy services across your company-wide network in a way that allows them to be easily shared and used by multiple applications and users. Instead of having several instances of the same service, SOA establishes reusable, standards-based services that you can access when and where needed. In this way, SOA plays a key role in synchronizing business and IT, efficiently integrating business processes enterprise wide.
What’s more, as immediate access to real-time information becomes increasingly essential, SOA can play an important role in your business intelligence strategy. If, for example, you are coping with a continual increase in data loads and users, SOA can deliver the flexibility and reliability you need to adapt quickly to change.
While these SOA benefits are appealing, the range of choice in SOA solutions can be complex, confusing and more costly than you had in mind.
But help is on the way from HP and SAP, as the two companies expand our long-standing partnership and apply our combined strengths around delivering enterprise solutions based on SOA. |

If you are ready to improve your overall SAP environment, the adoption of Enterprise SOA can be key to your success.
Implementing Enterprise SOA is one way to streamline SAP migrations to new platforms, as you complete a refresh of your SAP landscape. You'll also find that the move from the traditional client-server architecture to a service-oriented architecture can drive major shifts in your SAP environment—shifts that can translate into opportunities to upgrade your server environment and increase storage capacity.
Fortunately, the alliance between HP and SAP brings with it a wealth of experienced resources to make the transition an easy one with benefits that include:
|
Bring innovation to your business processes and get the flexibility your business needs to better manage costs and change—all with Enterprise SOA. It’s another positive step on your way to building an Adaptive Infrastructure.
Greater flexibility, enabling new business processes to be added easily
Lower operational costs, through IT consolidation and simplification
Reduced complexity, driving fast and more efficient processing
Tighter integration of people, information and processes
More resilient business operations |
