2 The IBM SAP Alliance is proven by clear facts. IBM is the leading platform vendor for new SAP installations: a position IBM has maintained for the last 5 years. one in three of all new SAP R/3 licenses were installed on an IBM more than half of SAP net new license revenue runs on IBM servers DB2 Universal Database is SAP's primary development platform for new applications IBM is also one of SAP's largest customers, with over users. and virtually every IBMer connected IBM SAP International Competence Center - the largest SAP partner center: World class technical support and SAP skills Integrated SAP and IBM support processes IBM has been regularly awarded the SAP Award of Excellence for Customer Satisfaction more than 5000 joint customers worldwide chose IBM and SAP IBMs and SAPs offerings complement each other in an IT solution stack IBM Consulting IBM Business Integration and Application Services Services IBM Technology Services Best of Breed Business Application Software Industry Specific Applications IBM Framework for e-business (DB2, Websphere, Tivoli, Lotus) IBM eserver and Storage Infrastructure IBM Portals and Hosting Services

3 Where do many customers see Lotus and SAPs homeground today? Designed to manage your capital assets Transactions Structured Information Structured and defined Business Processes and workflows Centralized System Pre dominantly On-line Production workflows Collaboration process oriented structured Designed to manage your intellectual assets Semi-structured Information Document oriented Distributed environments Mobile Users Ad-hoc processes and workflows Collaboration Messaging Instant collaboration Ad hoc, semi structured Where do customers typically Integrate SAPs solutions and Lotus Domino Mobile Scenarios Sales Force Automation Service Applications Workflows cross boundaries Purchasing B2B Product Development Invoicing HR (i.e. applicants tracking) Collaboration Mail, Calendar Integration Risk Management Project Management Extending reach Reports distribution Specific transactions

4 How to start to technically integrate SAP R/3 into Lotus Domino? No matter how you integrate, some basic functions are always needed Logon, access is necessary Type conversion is needed These are provided by a so called connector e.g. for SAP 3 technologies all use the same connector to integrate SAP into Lotus Domino LC LSX LC Java Programmatic LEI Scheduled DECS Realtime e.g. for SAP

5 The LC Java and LC LSX integrates seamlessly into your Domino developing environment Lotus classes exposed Full Debugger support Class Browser integration Intuitive classes Highly flexible Dim session As New lcsession Dim target As New LCConnection("sap") target.database = "BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE" target.userid = "muster"... target.language="en" target.server="eitech" target.connect LC LSX LC Java Programmatic e.g. for SAP LEI Scheduled DECS Realtime Dim fldlst As New LCFieldList Dim fldresult As New LCFieldList Dim field As LCField... target.metadata = "*" selectstatement = +_ REQUISITION_ACCOUNT_ASSIGNMENT.1.COST_CTR=" ", +_... REQUISITION_ITEMS.1.SHORT_TEXT="Item 1 Text", target.mapbyname = True Call target.fetch (fldresult, 1, 1) Set field = fldresult.lookup("exportsnumber", index) If field.text(0) <> "" Then Print "EXPORTSNUMBER ="&field.text (0) End If Set field = fldresult.lookup("returnmessage", index) LEI allows scheduled, high performance Datasynchronisation LC LSX LC Java LEI Scheduled e.g. for SAP DECS Realtime URL from Web / Notes request Domino Server Domino Databases LEI Admin. LEI Log s LEI Server LEI server moves data

6 LEI is as easy to use as can be. Purely declarational, no programming Declarational Interface No coding Administration panel for various connectors Scheduled and Realtime access Logging facility DECS offers seamless Realtime integration DECS Realtime URL from Web / Notes request Domino Server LCLSX LCJava Programmatic LEI Scheduled e.g. for SAP Create Open Update Delete Domino Application DECS Admin. Enterprise Data Extension Manager Layer s Persistent Connections DECS Admin.
