1. How Office Business Applications reach SAP ERP through BizTalk Adapter Pack
Microsoft Corporation SAP-Microsoft Competence Center (Tokyo)

2. SAP Customer's pain points
Although plenty of business data has been stocked in SAP for years, there’s no drastic ways to allow all employees to access/visualize these data..
If subsystem integrations (for data visualization or UI extension) are implemented with legacy ABAP add-ons, the dev/operation costs get extremely expensive ..
Once the system becomes a black box, it’s not easy to continuously extend the systems with flexibility ..

5. SAP Enterprise Services
The most current way to call SAP business logics from external systems
Publishes SAP’s business logics as Web services
Various vendors (including Microsoft) can technically connect in this way
SAP increased # of services to 2,800 with their release of Enhancement Pack 3
Differences from their legacy BAPI/RFC
Industry standard Web services instead of SAP’s proprietary protocol
Easier service calls, parameter settings etc
However SAP ES is an brand new component which is delivered only to SAP ERP 6.0 users

6. BizTalk Adapter Pack 1.0
One of Microsoft’s strategic technologies aligned with its “LOB integration initiative”
Connectivity to Oracle, DB2, IBM mainframe etc already released
BizTalk Adapter Pack adds connectivity to SAP and Siebel
ADO .NET (SAP, Siebel) and WCF (SAP, Siebel, Oracle)
A central hub between LOB and all Microsoft products
Visual Studio, SQL Server Integration Services, BizTalk Server etc 6

7. BizTalk Adapter Pack functionality for SAP customers
Enables to execute following commands to SAP
RFC/BAPI execution
In addition to standard RFC, reliable protocols like tRFC (transactional RFC) and qRFC (queued RFC) also supported
E.g. : Exec BAPI_CREDITCARD_CHECKNUMBER
Any operations can be done (including Update, Insert, Delete)
Data extract from SAP (ABAP) table/view objects
Select query (like OPENSQL) from SAP cluster tables, pool tables, transparent tables, and SAP view objects
E.g. : select MATNR, SPRAS, MAKTX from MAKT where SPRAS = 'JA' or SPRAS = 'EN‘
Possible to access all objects including customers’ add-on tables/views
Table join possible up to 2 tables
E.g. : select A.x, B.y from A inner join B on A.m = B.n
To join more than 3 tables add view objects on SAP
Insert, update, delete are not supported
All SAP (ABAP) versions/components later than R/3 4.6c (SAP kernel 4.6d) are supported
Every OS/DB platform, non-Unicode and Unicode
SAP R/3 (4.6c, 4.7 Enterprise), SAP ERP (2004, 6.0), SAP BW/CRM/SCM etc

51. Customer benefits provided by interop between Microsoft BI,
Customer benefits provided by interop between Microsoft BI, .NET Framework and SAP
Customer can easily set up “user-friendly” UIs (like Office and Web) and deploy them onto SharePoint (Higher visualization and utilization of SAP)
Customer can easily master/implement MS technologies by themselves (instead of fully depending on special technicians) which helps continuous and flexible system extensions
Customer can minimize dev/operation costs with “no coding” MS BI and “developer-friendly” .NET, instead of ABAP
