What is happening in business that drives the software business
•Rapid business model change imposes need for rapid delivery of
new capability
•Hardwired business processes are great for stable “nondifferentiated” business process, but suicide for innovators
•Commoditisation of technology layers leads to low cost entry and
industrialisation
IMPLIES
•Forced redesign to allow rapid innovation of software while
keeping quality and stability of context processes
•Decoupled process model to allow agility
•Agility to move from core to context at the pace of business
•Agility to rapidly remodel processes without restrictions

Key Enterprise SOA development initiatives
•Make the entire product base “service enabled”
•Ensure usability by the wider “non-SAP” community
•Deliver beyond SOA to include logical interconnectivity not just
technical or semantic interoperability
•Provide a technology platform and process composition
environment for SAP development, and our customers, but keep it
open for the wider community
•Create logical Enterprise Services packages as working starting
points for composites
•Accelerate adoption through the Software Developer Network
community
•Establish Industry focused Value Networks

What makes a Service an Enterprise Service?
Readability
 Compare it to a book
–
–
–
Global data type – the letters available to build meaningful words
Messages and service cut – the sentences have the same grammar
Taxonomies of Process Components, Business Objects, Interfaces
- the chapters in the book have the same structure
Reuse
 The reuse of services makes up the value
of the ESR

Example: float, string,

Global Data Types are SAP-wide defined data types with business
content. They are defined in accordance to industry standards and
offer customers a way to use one common data structure.
Characteristics:
 Standard (ISO 15000-5 and UN/CEFACT CCTS1)
 Defined in Enterprise Services Repository
 SAP-wide approved with reference to the Governance Process2
 Semantic building blocks for interfaces (reuse)

Semantical / Logical Interoperability
Same Understanding between Service Consumer and Service
Provider, e.g. Address or Name.
Technical Interoperability
- unified Transport Protocols (e.g. TCP/IP)
- security standards (e.g. Web Services Security)
- formats for structured communication (e.g. XML, SOAP…)
