To coincide with the SAP Conference on Enterprise Portals and Integration Technology on 7 and 8 May 2003 in Berlin, Fujitsu Siemens Computers has brought out new iView modules. Using these modules in conjunction with the openSEAS software suite, it is now also possible to integrate individual applications which do not meet the standards of open software architectures quickly and cost-effectively into the mySAP Enterprise Portal. The solution, which SAP has now certified, will be of particular benefit to customers who want to both introduce the mySAP Enterprise Portal and also continue using their existing individual applications.
One of the main reasons for introducing enterprise portals is to supply employees with precisely the information they need for their work in specific roles at any time. The chief obstacle is often that a lot of business-relevant information is administered by individual applications that have taken years to evolve and can only be converted to modern standards with a great deal of effort. To solve this dilemma, Fujitsu Siemens Computers has now developed, on the basis of its openSEAS software suite, special iView modules which integrate virtually any applications into the mySAP Enterprise Portal.
The iView concept from SAP allows information and functions from different sources to be integrated into an enterprise portal, regardless of whether the content comes, for example, from MS Outlook, the mySAP Business Suite, Oracle 11i, WebEx, or Yahoo. In the iViewStudio (www.iViewstudio.com), SAP portal users can access the respective iViews they require at any time via the internet.
"The development just announced is based on our software suite openSEAS. With this innovation, we have succeeded in removing a crucial obstacle to the use of modern portal infrastructure," said Peter Jilek, Executive Vice President Enterprise Products, Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "The SAP certificate gives our customers the assurance that they can integrate applications that have evolved over the years into the future-oriented mySAP Enterprise Portal."
