HP, SAP create solutions for mySAP.com

BANGALORE: Hewlett-Packard and SAP, the inter-enterprise software solutions

provider, have announced services and technology solutions designed to make it

easier for customers to engage in e-commerce. The solutions will also help them

control the complexity of the Internet.

The services include a technical implementation program for e-commerce

starter pack, the new turnkey solution that allows current SAP R/3 customers to

emerge from within their company firewalls and engage in an e-commerce

environment, states a release issued by the company. HP and SAP have developed a

suite of services for technical implementation at customer sites worldwide. HP

Services claims that its consultants and engineers with special

system-integration expertise will help customers protect their existing

investments by implementing a complete mySAP.com e-commerce environment as an

optional path to the direct upgrade of R/3 4.6.

HP also unveiled an implementation program for mySAP.com Workplace Server

that is supposed to reduce standard installation time from weeks to days. HP's

programs for SAP ready-to-run workplace server and R/3 are both currently

available on HP-UX(1). To manage the complete SAP business-to-business

environment, HP announced an advanced version of its HP OpenView VantagePoint

SMART Plug-In for SAP R/3. Combined with HP OpenView VantagePoint Manager, the

integrated solution is tuned to manage end-to-end SAP R/3 and mySAP.com

environments. HP OpenView enables SAP R/3 customers to control an entire

Internet-based workplace environment by showing the business impact of failures

and helping them to act quickly and minimize disruption. HP OpenView also

supports SAP business information warehouse and the Internet transaction server.

It provides sophisticated performance management metrics, additional control of

usage, subsystems and network bandwidth along with improved reporting

facilities.
