What is SAP Netweaver ?

Many IT companies are structuring their software offerings around what is referred to as a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). When these software services support all functions needed by the entire business enterprise, an Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA) is born.

SAP's brand name for this ESA is SAP NetWeaver.
