In order to make the most profitable business decisions, organisations must be able to respond to their customers` needs in real-time, changing their processes and service delivery mechanisms as market and customer needs change.
To meet these demands Lotus Development has launched Domino Connector for SAP R/3 that offers enhanced integration between SAP R/3 and collaborative front-office business applications built on the Lotus Domino Application Server.
"With the Domino Connector for SAP R/3, users within and between enterprises can securely utilise up-to-the-minute, live R/3 data within critical business processes - such as supply-chain management and order processing," says Oscar Rozario, product and strategy specialist at Lotus Development SA.
As a result, organisations can integrate SAP R/3 solutions with Lotus Domino Application Server and Lotus Domino Enterprise server, enabling collaborative applications ranging from sales force automation to supplier relationship management.
Developers can build business-critical applications that incorporate live enterprise data with Web applications. "For example, developers can extend the use of applications such as human resources, sales and finance into employee self-service, remote sales force automation and supplier relationship management through the messaging and collaboration layer that is Domino," he says.
These applications allow front-end business processes supported by Domino to tap into data stored in back-end business systems supported by SAP R/3. The Lotus Domino Connector for SAP R/3 works in conjunction with Domino Enterprise Connection Services (DECS), the Lotus Enterprise Integrator (LEI), and Lotus Domino Connector Classes for LotusScript or Java, to provide developers with both declarative and programmatic integration between Lotus Domino and SAP R/3.
Domino Enterprise Connection Services is packaged with the Lotus Domino Web Application Server Release 5. The Domino Connector for SAP R/3 will be available in June.
