SAP Ventures:
SAP Ventures:
SAP Ventures is a strong partner that normally participates as part of an investor syndicate. Typically, we prefer that the syndicate lead be a new investor in the company.
We evaluate information technology opportunities across all stages. We emphasize investing in solutions and services sold to enterprises.
Executing on an investment can take as little as several weeks or as long as several months. The key determinants are the required depth of diligence, the schedule and makeup of the investment syndicate, and, at times, the business requirements of the prospective investment recipient.
We identify investment opportunities in a variety of ways. For example, we will develop investment themes and areas of related interest in which we proactively seek new businesses. We will respond to entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who understand the value we can bring to an investment to be part of a financing round. We also pursue investment opportunities brought to us by partners within the SAP ecosystem.
When evaluating investment opportunities, we focus on:
Management team strength and depth
Potential market size and opportunity
Uniqueness of products and technologies
Exit opportunity
In making these evaluations, we draw not only on our own expertise, but also from the knowledge base of the entire SAP ecosystem. Entrepreneurs can expect to have at least one discussion with a business and/or technology thought-leader within SAP. These discussions are mutually beneficial, providing all parties valuable industry insight. In many cases, these introductions are the seed of a significant future business relationship.

SAP admits Oracle data downloads
SAP admits Oracle data downloads
SAP says it "regrets" the downloading incidents
SAP has admitted its TomorrowNow unit carried out "inappropriate downloads" of documents from its rival Oracle, but said SAP had not accessed the material.
Oracle is suing SAP, accusing it of hacking into its computer network and stealing vital product information.
In a written legal response to Oracle's claims of intellectual property theft, SAP said the downloaded material had stayed in TomorrowNow's systems.
SAP said changes had now been made to TomorrowNow's management.
"Even a single inappropriate download is unacceptable from my perspective. We regret very much that this occurred," SAP's chief executive Henning Kagerman said in a statement.
Lucrative market
Oracle has claimed the German firm is guilty of "corporate theft on a grand scale" by gaining illegal access to one of its customer support websites.
Oracle and SAP compete in the business software sector, selling programs that help firms to run more efficiently.
Oracle's lawsuit claims that SAP resorted to illegal activity to maintain its leadership in the market for business applications software.
It alleges that staff at TomorrowNow, a firm bought by SAP in 2005, accessed Oracle's computer network last year and illegally downloaded a wide range of copyrighted software and other material.
The software was part of the Peoplesoft business that was bought by Oracle in 2005.
The Peoplesoft deal was one of a $20bn series of takeovers that Oracle has pulled off in the past three years, exerting greater pressure on market leader SAP.
Through its actions, TomorrowNow had assembled a "storehouse of stolen Oracle intellectual property", Oracle says.
"This theft appears to be an essential, and illegal, part of SAP's competitive strategy against Oracle," the complaint - lodged with a federal court in San Francisco - alleges.

How RFGen Is Helping SAP Users to Customize Their Bar Coding Projects
(Right click to save this article to your hard drive)
Request a demonstration
RFGen website
Features and Benefits
Here are the some of the many reasons why RFGen's Integration Suite for SAP raises the bar for other data collection products, making it the most innovative, easy-to-use tool on the market today!
Pre-built transactions for all manufacturing and distribution modules that work immediately with all SAP versions.
The only data collection software solution to offer a full production free trial download that can be up and running in less than 1 hour.
No source code installation or modification is required within the SAP server environment ever.
Easy to use development tool set for enhancements and configuration of business processes.
The lowest total cost of ownership in the industry with the fastest return on investment.
Introducing RFGen…
RFGen is an advanced development environment that, when combined with the RF communications server, becomes a powerful, integrated bar coding solution for SAP customers.
The system consists of two modules: The RF Programmers Assistant and the RF Communications Server.
The RF Programmers Assistant enables a developer with all the tools needed to develop and deploy RF bar coding applications. With RFGen, developing and maintaining these applications becomes a snap!
The RF Communications Server provides communications between any Telnet-capable device (wireless or otherwise) and the RFGen Host Server. A variety of devices can be used making RFGen hardware independent!
RFGen allows for the following:
Rapid Application Development for fast, easy, intuitive development of RF data collection applications.
ERP Integration Suite/Screen Mapping for SAP allows you to easily identify and use standard ERP business rules and embed them in your RF applications.
Off-Line Data Collection
RFGen supports continuous 24/7 data collection operations even in remote locations. If desired, your employees can continue to function even when your ERP system is unavailable.
Easy Database Integration to any ODBC compliant database.
Network Administration allows the remote control of devices, easy connectivity, easy monitoring, and easy administration of your RF network.
All Major Hardware Brands are supported. Using TCP/IP and Telnet terminal emulation, RFGen applications run easily on all of the major RF hardware brands, providing easy portability and total hardware independence. Hardware brands utilizing DOS, WinCE, or Linux that are more commonly used include: Intermec, Symbol, Telxon, PSC, LXE, Handheld Products, Casio, Denso, AML, and Teklogix.
Easy Bar Code Printing is done through ActiveX integration or text file submission to popular bar code printing applications such as Bar Tender, Loftware and NiceLabel.
How does it work?
RFGen takes full advantage of a new standard in thin client computing called Remote Power Projection (RPP). Remote Power Projection is a protocol that is based on the Citrix client/server model. Data collection devices running RFGen perform all of their processing on a central Windows server and are able to provide Pentium like performance regardless of the capabilities of the end device.
By using a standard VT telnet session (or a graphical telnet client available from RFGen) to display and collect data on handheld devices, RFGen greatly simplifies customer installations, upgrades, and support.
What does an RFGen implementation look like?
A SQL compliant database and SAP.
A Windows 2000 (or later) based PC or server running RFGen.
A wireless network with a combination of the following:
Handheld terminals
RFID Scanners
Fixed terminals
Vehicle mounted terminals
Wedge scanners
Barcode printers
Wireless access points

SAP Modules and Solutions Overview
In the past when people were discussing SAP, the conversation very quickly boiled down to modules, for example:
*
SAP’s courses were structured along module lines so that you would attend MM 101, 102 and 103. While at the course you would learn many things about MM, but not much about the rest of the SAP system and how MM fits into it.
*
A conversation with a SAP recruiter might go something like this:
Recruiter … “which modules do you work with?”
Candidate … “well, I have a lot of purchasing process experience”
Recruiter … “yes, but which modules do you work with?”
Candidate … “well, it’s purchasing functionality … so that would be, umm, MM, FI and CO mainly”
Recruiter … “great I have just the job for you”
Candidate … “fantastic, is it purchasing?”
Recruiter … “well it says here that they want an MM, FI and CO person and that’s you, right?”
Not necessarily! A MM, FI, CO role might include Inventory Management (MM), Accounts Receivable (FI) and Profitability Analysis (CO) – none of which a purchasing person is guaranteed to have
*
Many programme teams were organised along module lines, so that you would have a FI/CO, an MM and a HR team, for example. Training courses were (therefore) often prepared and delivered along module lines too. The result of this was that solutions were frequently optimised along module lines, and less often well integratred, and as for users, well, they were pretty much trained up in a module and left to get on with it post go-live. Fortunately those days are mostly passed, and more and more programmes (from design to build to training) are being organised along process lines such as:
Order to Cash (including parts of SD, FI-AR and probably TY as well)
Purchase to Pay (including MM-Purchasing and FI-AP)
Record to Report (FI-GL etc)
SAP now are moving away from describing their system as a set of modules, and now are using the term ‘solutions’, which is much better. If you visit SAP’s website (as we urge you to do) you will find that they have structured their Solutions tab as follows:
*
Financials
*
Human Resources
*
Customer Relationship Management
*
Supplier Relationship Management
*
Product Lifecycle Management
*
Supply Chain Management
*
Business Intelligence

SAP’s courses were structured along module lines so that you would attend MM 101, 102 and 103. While at the course you would learn many things about MM, but not much about the rest of the SAP system and how MM fits into it.
*
A conversation with a SAP recruiter might go something like this:
Recruiter … “which modules do you work with?”
Candidate … “well, I have a lot of purchasing process experience”
Recruiter … “yes, but which modules do you work with?”
Candidate … “well, it’s purchasing functionality … so that would be, umm, MM, FI and CO mainly”
Recruiter … “great I have just the job for you”
Candidate … “fantastic, is it purchasing?”
Recruiter … “well it says here that they want an MM, FI and CO person and that’s you, right?”
Not necessarily! A MM, FI, CO role might include Inventory Management (MM), Accounts Receivable (FI) and Profitability Analysis (CO) – none of which a purchasing person is guaranteed to have
*
Many programme teams were organised along module lines, so that you would have a FI/CO, an MM and a HR team, for example. Training courses were (therefore) often prepared and delivered along module lines too. The result of this was that solutions were frequently optimised along module lines, and less often well integratred, and as for users, well, they were pretty much trained up in a module and left to get on with it post go-live. Fortunately those days are mostly passed, and more and more programmes (from design to build to training) are being organised along process lines such as:
Order to Cash (including parts of SD, FI-AR and probably TY as well)
Purchase to Pay (including MM-Purchasing and FI-AP)
Record to Report (FI-GL etc)
SAP now are moving away from describing their system as a set of modules, and now are using the term ‘solutions’, which is much better. If you visit SAP’s website (as we urge you to do) you will find that they have structured their Solutions tab as follows:
*
Financials
*
Human Resources
*
Customer Relationship Management
*
Supplier Relationship Management
*
Product Lifecycle Management
*
Supply Chain Management
*
Business Intelligence
If you’re still looking for that list of modules, here they are:
FI Financial Accounting (Tutorial) – essentially your regulatory ‘books of record’, including
*
General ledger
*
Book close
*
Tax
*
Accounts receivable
*

Technical Details
An adaptive supply chain network requires integration. From a business perspective, integration enables you to reach beyond enterprise boundaries and link with suppliers and customers. From a technology perspective, integration allows you to leverage existing investments and reduce total cost of ownership.
SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) ensures seamless integration through the technology foundation of SAP NetWeaver. SAP NetWeaver aligns people, information, and processes across technologies and organizations. It provides a coherent, scalable architecture that lets you integrate your existing technologies while creating a foundation for a new generation of flexible, cross-enterprise processes.
SAP NetWeaver also enables an Enterprise Services Architecture that combines enterprise applications with Web services and open technologies – enabling truly adaptive business. A crucial aspect of Enterprise Services Architecture is the composite application framework. It allows the integration of new functionality into processes that can be configured and reconfigured across the value chain. The composite application framework contains the tools, methodologies, and rules that allow SAP and our partners to develop "snap-on" processes.
Targeting Total Cost of Ownership
Integration isn't the only way SAP SCM lowers total cost of ownership. SAP SCM features a user-friendly interface, ready-to-use business processes, and out-of-the-box integration of vendor-managed inventory (VMI), supplier-managed inventory (SMI), event management, performance management, and other key processes.
In addition, SAP promotes operational stability by offering operational guidelines and by continuously improving our administration and monitoring tools. SAP EarlyWatch Alert and other monitoring services provide remote access to SAP service and support.
Finally, SAP SCM is now built on a single technology component, SAP Supply Chain Management 4.0 (SAP SCM 4.0). Combining SAP Advanced Planning & Optimization (SAP APO), SAP Event Management, and SAP Inventory Collaboration Hub (SAP ICH), SAP SCM 4.0 can be installed on a single database and administered as a single system. The architecture remains unchanged, so you can continue to use existing knowledge and documentation.
SAP SCM 4.0 is based on SAP Web Application Server and requires SAP GUI. For SAP APO within SAP SCM 4.0, you need liveCache. SAP APO also contains SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW), which is required for SAP APO within SAP SCM 4.0.
SAP ICH has its own Web user interface based on Business Server Pages (BSP) technology. Out-of-the-box integration with SAP ICH requires SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI). Master data integration with SAP ICH requires SAP R/3 plug-in 2003.1. For some SMI scenarios in which suppliers require Web-based user-management functionality, you need SAP User Management Engine (SAP UME).

Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility
In line with SAP’s commitment to the communities in which we live and work, Labs India has been actively driving and participating in various projects that focus on education and children. We also support disaster relief and rehabilitation projects, while engaging in community building with an aim towards all round development of the community and its people. Employees at SAP Labs India are also enthusiastic about corporate giving, whenever the need arises.
Our role as a concerned corporate citizen is largely driven by SAPPORT, the corporate social responsibility initiative at Labs India. SAPPORT holds Charity Days every year with the help of many active volunteers, who also get involved in the key corporate citizenship projects Labs India has taken up.
Over the years, SAP Labs India has been active in supporting and being involved in many a worthy cause. Here follows a snapshot of two key projects that we are currently engaged with.
Rehabilitation of Tharangambadi, Tamilnadu
Labs India employees traveled to affected places such as Tharangambadi in the state of Tamil Nadu, to aid relief efforts after the Tsunami that devastated many parts of South Asia. Short term and long term rehabilitation initiatives, aimed at bringing normalcy to those affected, are supported by funds donated by employees. Tharangambadi, a fishing village in Tamil Nadu that was significantly affected by the tsunami, has a school for children, as well as a center for adult education and vocational training today – all this was achieved in partnership with HOPE Foundation, a non-governmental organization (NGO) and a long term partner of Labs India.
An English Medium School was constructed in Tharangambadi and has been operational since June 2006. Another significant project dedicated to the young people of the village was the Vocational Training Center. Today, they are being taught tailoring, masonry and computer skills.
The Childcare Center, Karnataka
SAP Labs India supports a Child Care Center in the state of Karnataka in India that is home to children from disadvantaged sections of society. A large proportion of these children belong to parents who are awaiting trial in a court of law for alleged criminal offences. The other children are either orphans, those of single mothers - belonging to the 'temple prostitutes' community - or from very poor economic backgrounds. At the center which is run by the NGO Janodaya, children are provided with a place to stay, meals, schooling, medical care and counseling.
The ultimate aim, however, is their overall development. Labs India is, therefore, committed to engaging with these children beyond their educational needs. Children who will be completing their 10th standard will be assisted in taking up college education or given professional training that would equip them to become self-reliant.
