Core processes identified during ramp up, such as the core processes of energy suppliers with external energy suppliers, such as Vattenfall, as well as municipal utilities, etc. Source and destination are more than 90% SAP Systems. Number of backend systems over 20, about 10 of them non-SAP systems. Usage of PI as a single middleware for both EAI and SOA based scenarios Extensive use of new features, such as XML validation, AAE, services registry. For implementation of a SOA architecture PI brings a great added value. PI 7.1 is central integration platform, ESR is a central development environment. The registry is also used to store centrally by SAP and non-SAP Services. Utility scenario via EDI based on SAP NW PI 7.1 and SEEBURGER utility adapter for internal and external communication In production we process via SAP NW PI around 120,000 to 250,000 messages per day The messages sizes can reach up 50 MB or sometimes 80 MB Extensive usage of ccBPM processes even for human processes Note: While talking about internal

Presentation Notes
Here’s an actual customer testimony of the benefits of the Enterprise Services Repository Swiss Post Group is a company owned by the Swiss Confederation which is incorporated under public law. It has over 58,000 employees spread over 2500 post offices. The company has a turn over of CHF 8,712 bn and the group profit for the year is CHF 909 million. Swiss post Group is also the first customer to go live with SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1. In the last few months since they went live, they are clearly able to leverage on the new features of the Process Integration 7.1 in solving their Enterprise IT issues. One of the key features that they use as part of PI 7.1 is the Enterprise Services Repository. The organization is committed to advance and use Service oriented Architecture and integrate it into Business Process Management. And over the last two years, based on an extensive study done within the group, the company has defined the SOA roadmap for the organization. Swiss post has a very heterogeneous landscape with technologies such as .Net, Oracle, SUN, BEA and SAP distributed all across its stack. Swiss post made a conscious decision to separate the implementation technology (the technology in which the service is implemented) from the methodology and process. They required a repository that is able to handle the technology heterogeneity and provide a unified view across this technologically diverse landscape. After an extensive proof of concept, Swiss post decided to use the Enterprise Services Repository as the sole central services repository. Today, after using the ESR across all steps of the SOA lifecycle, they are clearly able to see how ESR helps in every step of the Service lifecycle.
This demo is based on the SOA Experience workshop where we show the complete enterprise SOA Roundtrip from defining the process blueprint to running the finished process implementation. The Investment approval process is a classical example where you want to implement a “before process” to validate certain conditions before you invoke the standard processes that are delivered by SAP. In the end to end demo, we show you how to Achieve process transparency by defining the end to end process in NW BPM Leverage the enterprise services delivered by SAP Encapsulate all the complex rules that are involved in the decision making process in NW BRM Seamlessly combine UI and Services through tool integration achieved between NW BPM and UI tools, ESR etc. Connect to legacy systems in your supplier’s landscape As part of today’s lecture, I will focus on one specific part of the demo where we connect to the legacy system in the supplier landscape to write the PO information. We will Look at the overall process definition in Galaxy Drill down to the specific part of the process involving connecting to the legacy system Show, how without writing a single line of code, we are able to service enable an existing legacy application Use the Galaxy process to integrate it as part of a composite process Build quick and flexible UI using Visual Composer
SOA is a mandatory first step for strategic agility SAP has been very successful in helping companies becoming best-run businesses With our service-enabled business suite we have solved the old efficiency / flexibility dilemma: you can now change fast and scale-up efficiently. With enterprise SOA delivered, what’s next?

New Business Process Management capabilities: easily define and implement business processes that differentiate you from your competitors. Unique advantages: executable process models that combine services, events and human tasks Different abstraction levels allow for co-design between business experts and developers Ad-hoc user collaboration: business users can handle exceptions and tasks in a collaborative style, within the right business context Reference process models: The SAP Business Suite not only delivers a rich set of Enterprise Services, it also comes with best practice processes that are documented as SOA reference models. A new set of models on a process flow level will be delivered that include service and event extension points. Enterprise Services and Business Events: Business Events allow ‘management by exception’ within one consistent framework with services (common design time, semantics and governance based on ESR) SAP NetWeaver Process Integration as a Service Bus: mediates services and events (mediation capabilities are mapping, transformation, routing etc.). It integrates with and service-enables legacy systems. It continues to evolve into a standards-based and lean bus architecture. Process Analysis: The integration with BI Tools by Business Objects (e.g. Crystal Reports) within the Eclipse-based SAP NetWeaver CE enables the analysis of process performance (bottleneck’s, KPI’s, benchmarking etc.)

Presentation Notes
Future perspective: Business-Driven, Closed-Loop SOA Management and Governance SOA and SOA management is not just about managing the request-response communication between services and consumers. SOA promises to keep the worlds of IT and the Business aligned. SAP already delivers on this promise by service-enabling the business content of its applications and making it available to customers as Enterprise Service Bundles in the Enterprise Services Repository and Registry, complete with a recommended modeling methodology. To complete its SOA design-time, modeling and governance offering with a runtime SOA management and governance counterpart, SAP plans to provide capabilities which ensure that the SOA technology stack operates in accord with the requirements posed of by the business. These capabilities will: Facilitate the continuity between business KPIs and the technical rules (embodied by technical policies and Service Level Agreements) according to which the SOA implementation operates to help the business meet the objectives of the enterprise. Enable the informed decision making by the Business by providing it with visibility into the operations of the SOA technology stack.

Presentation Notes
As an evolution of multiple process layers catering to different needs, a common design- and runtime layer for business processes will emerge. A common business process layer in our understanding fulfills the following criteria: It offers a dynamic business process representation that can be sketched and understood by business people (BPMN). This design-time representation goes across all types of business processes and their specific characteristics and supports design collaboration. A more detailed view of the same dynamic business process representation can be implemented by a developer persona, without the need of model translation or conversion. Execution is done by application runtime, or a business process engine, depending on the nature of the respective process fragment. Common monitoring, lifecycle management and process performance management (e.g. based on KPI’s) is possible along the end-to-end process For the application core processes , the common process layer uses ESR SOA artifacts that provide deep semantic integration based on process models. Here process component models are exposed as BPMN-based processes with defined extension points for enhancing the core process. In that sense, the common process layer provides process-oriented “business add-in’s” for process composition without touching the business application logic itself. Harmonizing design and runtime, the common process layer will enable customers to leverage common runtime services and a central design time in BPMN both for human-centric and system-centric process modeling in a homogenous environment.
