Organizations that want to respond quickly to changing business requirements require an IT landscape that provides greater flexibility. SAP delivers this flexibility through:

• Enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA)

  
  Enterprise SOA revolutionizes the design of business applications, enabling the rapid composition of business solutions. With enterprise SOA, you can encapsulate business logic and expose it as enterprise services -- smaller functionality components that can be re-assembled quickly to compose new business solutions that meet changing business requirements.




• SAP NetWeaver platform

  
  SAP NetWeaver enables rapid but controlled business process change. The platform incorporates business functionality -- exposed as ready-to-use enterprise services and process components -- through its enterprise services repository. It also provides an integrated platform of composition technologies for orchestrating business processes, composing applications, and deploying innovative solutions.




• Ecosystem

  
  Members of SAP's highly interactive ecosystem of customers and partners collaborate through a variety of communities and programs, including SAP Developer Network (SDN), Enterprise Services Community, industry value networks (IVNs), and partner solutions.
