CompriseIT

CompriseIT has completed a Technology Assessment between SAP NetWeaver and Microsoft .net for one of our clients.

It is common for companies to have a dual strategy between SAP and Microsoft as the two companies have a close relationship at board level. With the advent of the Duet product and the development of inter-Op standards it can be confusing to understand which technology should be used where.

CompriseIT have developed a scoring matrix and overlapping analysis that enables organisations to look across their technology landscape, identify the overlaps and quickly evaluate the product or products to use.

CompriseIT has developed and delivered a set of training modules that are designed for delegates who know little or nothing about Enterprise SOA and SAP NetWeaver. It helps to answer questions like.

• Why is SOA needed
• What is SAP Enterprise SOA
• Which SAP NetWeaver components are required to make Enterprise SOA happen
• How to find more information on Enterprise SOA

The course also includes a case study that is used in exercises to show how Enterprise SOA and SAP NetWeaver can be used to solve business issues. Delegates are shown how to :-

• Create SAP NetWeaver Roadmaps
• Create Enterprise SOA Roadmaps for specific process issues
• Create Composite Application specifications

The course is modular and can be delivered in between 0.5 and 2 days (usually 1 day). It is designed for SAP Project Teams, SAP Support Teams, SAP Consultants and SAP Program / Project Managers.

CompriseIT has partnered with Kew Consulting to provide a set of Strategic SAP Services focused on helping SAP prospects and customers drive value from their investment in SAP. Kew Consulting was formed by Simon Harrison - former CTO for SAP in the UK, CompriseIT was formed by Owen Pettiford - Former Head of Architecture for SAP in the UK.

About Red Commerce

Red Commerce is the largest specialist pan European supplier of SAP Human Capital staffing services across contract and permanent disciplines.

Red Commerce specializes in the placement of high end, scarce, expert SAP resource to corporate clients.

In December 2005 the company was acquired by the management team through an MBO with private equity funding. The business has accelerated its innovation and has invested in increasing the size and reach of the organisation. The creation of a corporate Business Development arm and the launch of ‘team staffing’ solutions for overall SAP resource supply have, in conjunction with growing the traditional ‘engine’ of supplying scarce SAP resource to a blue chip fortune 500 client base ensured accelerated top line growth.

This partnership reflects the strategic aim to develop a small number of highly focussed alliances within the SAP ecosystem.

About CompriseIT

CompriseIT was formed by IT professionals who believe in the long term value of well planned and architected solutions balanced against a strong desire to create practical solutions that deliver value to the business.
