Why Netweaver vs. custom SAP and Web development

[Former Member]

I have been reviewing Netweaver as well as SAP's Manufacturing Execution (ME) to determine whether we want to implement this functionality. I understand that Netweaver provides a standard platform for a company's custom development but my question is Why invest time and money in Netweaver when I can develop custom Z-code and Web code without it? What is the benefit to Netweaver?

Thanks,

Robert Quinn

Hello Robert

yes, of course you can develop you own zcode and web/java code without using SAP netweaver platform or nwds(sap netweaver developer studio).

But with SAP netweaver, you can make full use of the available functionalities, and the development will be faster.

more important, you can achieve a seamless integration of different product line, such SAP ERP and SAP ME.
