SAP Leads Industry Collaboration in Support of Enterprise
Services
Avaya, Dell, HP, Network Appliance, Novell, Research In Motion
and RSA Security Form Second Wave of Technology Titans to License
SAP's Enterprise Services Architecture
Boston, MA September 27, 2005 Along with an impressive list of key
industry partners, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced it continues
to deliver on its vision of a business-driven approach to
services-oriented architecture by creating the first cross-industry
community process for enterprise services. Driven by George
Paolini, who leads SAPs Platform
Ecosystem group, the newly formed
Enterprise Services Community Process will incorporate many of the
successful attributes of open community processes such as Eclipse
and the Java Community Process, adding additional momentum to SAPs
market-leading progress in driving real-world applications of
enterprise services for customers.
In addition to the Enterprise Services Community Process, SAP also
announced the addition of seven new technology titans to a growing
community that will license Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA),
SAPs blueprint for a business-driven approach to services-oriented
architectures, enabled by the SAP NetWeaver platform. The
announcements were made at SAP TechEd 05, one of the industrys
largest, hands-on technical education conferences, being held in
Boston, Massachusetts, Sept. 27 30.

Thinkpad With the introduction of the community process, SAP is taking a
leadership role by creating the industrys first open forum that
fosters developer collaboration in creating, consuming and running
enterprise services and helps guarantee the quality of customer
implementations. The need for such a forum was driven by the swift
pace of partner alignment around ESA. For the first time, a
community process in which collaborative business process
innovation can flourish in an open and transparent forum will
become the standard by which all enterprise services development is
measured. The Enterprise Services Community Process is the only
industry-driven method for defining enterprise services and is
poised to become the preferred method for the SAP customer and
partner ecosystem to achieve business process innovation through
the use of enterprise services. Enterprise services use standard
Web
service technology to capture a common language of
business. This common language enables solutions from independent
software vendors (ISVs), system integrators (SIs), partners,
customers and SAP to compose innovative business processes on top
of enterprise services while ensuring integrity of the business as
well as robustness and speed of execution.
effective way to help boost performance, allow you to open more applications at once and save time and hassle. Since IBM is responsible for the design, testing, manufacturing and quality of IBM memory, compatibility with your IBM computer is backed by IBM Service and Support.
Microsoft As part of the community process, ISVs and technology companies
will be given the opportunity to achieve the Enterprise
Services-Ready brand for their products through a certification
process that ensures the implementation and consumption of
enterprise services as defined by the community. Enterprise
Services-Ready solutions are using standard Web services technology
to provide enhanced flexibility, faster time to market, reduced
cost of ownership and diminished
risk for customers.

There he held multiple roles, from overseeing the company worldwide competitive and server sales to leading sales, services, marketing and channel operations for IBM software business in Asia Pacific. During this time he resided in Tokyo, Japan.
Laptop Computers The presence of governing rules, expert groups and other
traditional procedures used to create a community-based forum will
shape the newly formed Enterprise Services Community Process with
the aim of continuously delivering value and renewed relevance for
members. With community members, SAP is committed to building an
overall climate of trust and involvement. Through knowledge sharing
and access to information, the community process will attract
members to engage and consistently bring to market world-class
innovations that will fuel the evolution of next-generation
business solutions. Some of the companies that are involved in
helping SAP refine the Enterprise Services Community Process
include Adobe, EMC Corporation, Intel, Mercury Interactive
Corporation and Symantec.
mail, IM, and documents will allow users to launch meetings on the spur of the moment, Mahowald added. "The battle for the desktop will make [Web conferencing] time hub for enterprise collaboration and will drive usage, " Mahowald said. The market is currently led by IBM, Microsoft, Raindance, and WebEx. This desktop battle will be primarily waged by the major infrastructure players but will leave opportunities for smaller vendors.
Laptop Computer George Paolini, execute vice president of Platform Ecosystems,
SAP AG, will drive the new Enterprise Services Community Process.
Prior to joining SAP, Paolini was the founder of the Java Community
Process, the widely renowned forum that energized a revolution in
software programming that today has Java recognized as one of the
most widely used technologies globally.
"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
Desktop Computer With this new wave of partner alignment around enterprise
services, we expect to bring thousands of enterprise services to
life for our mutual customers through community collaboration, said
Shai Agassi, president of the Product and Technology Group and
member of the executive board, SAP AG. Customers win when the
ecosystem collaborates on a timely delivery of innovative
technologies that solve deployment and integration issues. This
architectural shift is happening now, and SAP is the only solution
provider to bring together an enterprise-scale blueprint with ESA,
an enabling platform in SAP NetWeaver, an available repository of
more than 500 enterprise services, and now with Enterprise Services
Community Process, a foundation of a collaborative process for
building enterprise services.

catalog of technical information on enterprise services, the tools
and capabilities to work with the architecture and development
information such as data schemas, user interfaces, application

processes on top of enterprise services. In addition, these ESA
ecosystem partners will receive fully featured development and
run-time tools that allow them to immediately build, test and
certify Enterprise Services-Ready solutions.

as the common denominator to ease deployment and co-operation of
technologies across the IT stack in order to reduce the risk and
cost for customers. By extending application functionality deep
into the IT stack, SAP is making the entire stack business process

introduced in January of 2003 with the unveiling of ESA. Since
then, more than 1,500 reference customers have begun the process of
service-enabling their business processes across their entire IT
landscapes by implementing and using SAP NetWeaver, the industrys
first platform to successfully demonstrate the convergence of
applications and infrastructure that enable the ESA blueprint.
