Data Services for SAP
Enable instant access to SAP and deliver its content as pre-built, reusable data services.
Unlock SAP with Pre-Built Data Services
SAP data is invaluable not only within the system, but also in the larger context of your enterprise. For example, combining material management data from SAP with inventory data from a supply-chain management system, you can get a high level view of the logistics process and make better business decisions. But because SAP is primarily written in a proprietary language called ABAP, with over 20,000 tables and complex data structures, it requires specialised expertise to access its content.
Data Services from Pitney Bowes Software enable SOA-compliant applications and front-end reporting tools to consume SAP content, providing users with the visibility they need to effectively run their businesses.
Data Services™ for SAP enable instant access to SAP and deliver its content as pre-built, reusable data services. Data Services allow enterprises to quickly and easily implement a service-oriented architecture (SOA), providing companies with the agility to build IT solutions that support their dynamic business needs.
