Summary
SAP NetWeaver supports integration of master data, processes and user interfaces
of SAP and GIS systems.
SAP NetWeaver and the Enterprise Service Repository are the basis for deploying
Enterprise Services.
With Enterprise Services you have access to most of the business objects and
functionalities in SAP ERP. Thus, you can compose integrated SAP-GIS applications
very flexibly.
In the Enterprise Service Workplace you find details on Enterprise Services.
In addition to GIS you can also integrate further systems of your EAM system
landscape.
