integration server from webMethods. It enables communication between SAP
applications and SAP R/3 and non-SAP applications, by making all SAP
functions accessible to business partners over the Internet as an
XML-based service.
The SAP Business Connector uses the Internet as a communication platform
and XML or HTML as the data format. It integrates non-SAP products by
using an open, non-proprietary technology.
