ESA from SAP

SAP, which is one of the leading enterprise solutions providers, has released a technology blueprint referred to as the enterprise services architecture (ESA) that will enable companies to keep up with the changing trends in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry.

According to Adrian Chan, Senior Manager, SAP, businesses can use ESA as a guide for the deployment of web services for business processes and obtain value from the existing deployments by integrating SAP and non-SAP systems in the same architecture. The services gather data and programs from applications such as ERP and CRM and use these for the creation of new systems.

ESA is viewed by SAP as a technology strategy that will enable companies to evolve service-based business solutions. SAP’s ESA operates on the NetWeaver platform which also has applications like ERP, CRM, SCM, etc. All these applications are part of the mySAP Business Suite.
