SAP Bolsters NetWeaver s MDM CapabilitiesPart Five: Challenges and User Recommendations
SAP customers waiting for MDM to address data synchronization initiatives can be confident that, in the long term, SAP will likely address consolidation of product data for more purposes than a mere compliance to retailers’ mandates.
A.I.S.
: EP ), because of A2i s readiness to partner with many providers, including IBM. Hence, the integration might not be that daunting, since both vendors have embraced open systems, particularly A2i, given that its software by nature always had to integrate with several disparate data warehouses and applications or platform, including IBM WebSphere , SAP Web Application Server ( SAP Web AS ) and SAP EP. Still, time only will tell whether the future SAP Global Data Synchronization ( SAP GDS ) product will be r

SAP Bolsters NetWeaver s MDM CapabilitiesPart Four: SAP and A2i
The A2i acquisition will in the short term bring together two complementary e-commerce products that should help retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers manage and sell their products to other companies and customers on-line.
A.I.S.
: Advantage To that end, A2i s xCat utility extends beyond mere product data, since users can define any kind of data on the A2i system. Founded in 1993, A2i (standing for analog to interactive ) initially designed and built turnkey electronic catalogs, which were first delivered on CD-ROMs. The Internet explosion has allowed the company to diversify to more robust Web-based delivery. In 1996, it acquired Israel-based Nova - ArtMedia , which further expanded its functional and developing capabilities. Unli

SAP Bolsters NetWeaver s MDM CapabilitiesPart Two: xCat and SAP MDM
SAP purports that SAP MDM also lays the foundation for efficient and accurate exchange of cross-business information. Consumer products companies, for instance, can exchange timely product information with retail distributors, avoid costly inaccuracies, enhance merchandizing, and improve supply chain operations.
A.I.S.
: codes has become the A2i s Web slogan: No part number, no problem . Performance acceleration, with scalability up to millions of products . Traditional enterprise applications, such as ERP or CRM, are not optimized for heavy search and access loads. Similarly, a traditional relational database management system (DBMS) is slow on typical searches against large repositories, so relying on the naked DBMS is also a problem. Therefore, a proper PCM system must have a self-optimizing performance acceleration l

SAP Bolsters NetWeaver s MDM CapabilitiesPart One: Event Summary
SAP's determination to become a service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications lingua franca evangelist through SAP NetWeaver might have been further shown by its recent willingness to acquire catalog and product content management (PCM) vendor A2i, knowing its inclination to acquire little when it comes to technology vendors. Apparently, there should be some compelling time-to-market urge to add PCM value within the master data management (MDM) realm.
A.I.S.
: from the acquisition of A2i s xCat suite. Specifically, xCat will complement and extend the existing capabilities of SAP MDM with comprehensive support for enterprise-wide PCM, more powerful data aggregation and harmonization, and improved Web-based electronic catalogs for both sell-side and buy-side (procurement) deployments. The enhanced solution should also add entirely new functionality in the areas of high-performance search, intelligent image and document management (DM) and print catalog publishing

Mainstream Enterprise Vendors Begin to Grasp Content ManagementPart Three: Challenges
To conduct collaborative processes, businesses need embedded intelligence, and business intelligence (BI) or analytics applications focused on structured data offer only a part of the total solution. In other words, businesses also need content management for the unstructured data and content, which can contain a majority of business information, given that many decisions makers collaborate via e-mail or voicemail, which are examples of vast unstructured info that currently resides outside of business processes and of the reach of ERP and BI systems.
A.I.S.
: either. That has been A2i s focus—creating a system that allows users to structure content in a way that it can be used repeatedly. Further, since it is such an expensive process, users need to be able to leverage that investment across multiple media and to be able to publish to the web in a fast, rich, and searchable way—in terms of not just transactional data, but also parametric information that makes it possible to search by product relationship.
