SAP xMIIIntegration: High Level Objectives

� Objectives

� Delivering “core manufacturing services” and best practices for

common integration scenarios (over 40 services and nearly 100

integration scenarios have been identified)

� Creating an adaptive solution to which additional services and

standards support packages can be added without a new xMII

product release

� Requirements

� Manageability and business activity monitoring must be built in

� Reliability is paramount

� Integration involves both systems and people

� Challenges of standards-based approaches

� Standards-based approaches are the “best practice” foundation

but…each partner/customer implements ERP and “standards”

differently

� The solution must be highly adaptable to user and partner standards

extensions and end user configurable without deep IT knowledge

� The system must accommodate for customizations on both levels of

the business process (enterprise and production layers)
