SAP Pushes Business Model Innovation With New BPM Tools

SAP will offer new business process and rules management capabilities for its NetWeaver service-oriented architecture platform. NetWeaver Business Process Management and NetWeaver Business Rules Management will allow companies to build or change business processes and rules without coding. "Industry boundaries are blurring," SAP CEO Henning Kagermann said during his keynote speech Tuesday at the company's Sapphire conference for its customers. "Business model innovation is important -- it's more important than product innovation."
