With SAP NetWeaver, your IT organization can increase the visibility and reach of structured and unstructured enterprise data -- and help people at all levels and locations turn disparate raw data into integrated, meaningful, and actionable information.

SAP NetWeaver enables:

• Enterprise reporting, query, and analysis -- You can deliver analytics to people at every location, helping bring clarity to enterprise data. People can analyze patterns and trends and put business intelligence to good use with information from all functional areas and locations, ranging from back-end internal systems to external supplier and customer networks. SAP NetWeaver supports Excel and Web integration, ad hoc query, information broadcasting, and the modeling of business data.
• Business planning and analytical services -- You can enable state-of-the-art planning and provide the tools to help the business predict and react to changing market conditions successfully. You can also build planning applications that are tailored to specific needs for strategic or operational planning.
• Enterprise data warehousing -- You can create and operate an enterprisewide data warehouse. SAP NetWeaver supports both modeling and running the enterprise data warehouse.
• Enterprise knowledge management -- You can create, integrate, publish, access, and manage enterprise knowledge using SAP NetWeaver. These capabilities are an important part of SAP's support for enterprise content management (ECM).

The key IT activities involved with business information management are enabled by SAP NetWeaver components and tools such as SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence, SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure, the knowledge management functionality of SAP NetWeaver Portal, and SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer.
