Industry Composite Applications

Welcome to the resource center for industry composite applications. Here you can get an overview of composite applications developed by SAP, including a short description and a demo. These composite applications can be applied to multiple industries, as shown in the corresponding column. In the coming months we will update the resource center with additional composite applications, so we encourage you to check back.

All composite applications in the resource center have been developed with SAP NetWeaver composition tools and run on SAP NetWeaver.
