Integrating WebSphere and SAP custom designs

Overview
The Custom designs that follow illustrate various ways to integrate WebSphere Application Server and SAP products. This information is drawn from a December, 2001 presentation available as a PDF.

What's Next
If you've determined that the WebSphere/SAP custom design set can provide an appropriate solution design for your business need, the next step is to review the Runtime patterns illustrating integration of WebSphere and SAP products.

Business case

Feasibility: This material will help you determine the high-level shape of a WebSphere/SAP integration solution.

Risk: Basing new projects on prior designs and ideas helps to lower the risk of failure. Creating or inventing designs for each project tends to result in a lower success rate. Frequently, projects begun "from scratch" simply do not work and have major exposures in such areas as security, performance, availability, undefined requirements, and cost over-run.

Cost-benefit: By starting with reasonably complete architectures you save considerable development time and obtain assurance that the end solution will have a much higher chance of success. Actual savings will vary, but project teams have realized a 10% to 50% reduction of work effort in their design and architecture phases alone.
