SAP xMII Integration: High Level Objectives

Objectives
Delivering core manufacturing services and best practices for common integration scenarios (over 40 services and nearly 100 integration scenarios have been identified) Creating an adaptive solution to which additional services and standards support packages can be added without a new xMII product release

Requirements
Manageability and business activity monitoring must be built in Reliability is paramount Integration involves both systems and people

Challenges of standards-based approaches

Standards-based approaches are the best practice foundation buteach partner/customer implements ERP and standards differently The solution must be highly adaptable to user and partner standards extensions and end user configurable without deep IT knowledge The system must accommodate for customizations on both levels of the business process (enterprise and production layers)
