The Enterprise Portals Report 2008 looks at... SAP NetWeaver 7.0

"Even for existing SAP licensees, NWP should not become a default purchase. It takes time to understand the NWP architecture and features, while much-needed help from integration partners and the vendor itself may remain very costly and in short supply. "

Updates to the SAP NetWeaver Portal roadmap

04-May-2007

At last month's Sapphire, SAP's annual conference, SAP outlined an updated roadmap for their enterprise portal. Compared to Microsoft who reveals little about future plans (to be fair, because they were burned so much on Longhorn and Vista), SAP has openly stated that the "first functional upgrades are due sometime this year." We've previously covered their plans for a new GUI - which was demonstrated at Sapphire - but now comes details on new functionality through the "NetWeaver Composition Environment." In a separate interview, SAP also discussed a project called Collaborative Portal which will include (for the first time) distributed Web content publishing. Exciting times indeed, but as readers of the Enterprise Portals Report know, accessibility and web standards remain somewhat alien concepts at SAP, unfortunately even in the new roadmap.
