SAP and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
SAP enables businesses to adopt SOA as part of their implementation of SAP solutions. At the heart of SAP's open-standards approach to SOA is the concept of enterprise services - highly integrated Web services, architected with business logic and harmonized semantics that can be accessed and used repeatedly to enable end-to-end business processes.
