SAP AG is looking to <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1868705,00.asp">integrate its NetWeaver tool set</A> into a more cohesive environment where business and IT users can more easily create composite applications. Tools that were traditionally separate are going to become part of a single environment geared toward developers and business analysts, which SAP refers to as business process experts. By having tools for these groups more tightly integrated into a single environment, users can rely on a shared repository of enterprise Web services.
