With SAP NetWeaver, your IT organization can help users and groups improve their productivity through enhanced collaboration, optimized knowledge management, and personalized access to critical applications and data using Web-based portals and mobile interfaces.

SAP NetWeaver supports:

• Running an enterprise portal – You can develop, configure, and operate an enterprise portal, including internal and external-facing portals. You can also enable business-to-business (B2B) activities with business partners and information sharing in Web communities. SAP NetWeaver can support global and federated portal networks, providing uniform access to content.
• Enterprise knowledge management – You can plan, build, and operate an integrated work environment for information workers. Workers can create, publish, manage, and search structured and unstructured information. SAP NetWeaver supports content integration and management; content creation, publication, and access; enterprise search; and the management of documentation, manuals, and training materials. These functions are an important part of SAP's support for enterprise content management (ECM).
• Enabling user collaboration – You can organize tasks and information-sharing among different participants and different locations, and you can execute tasks quickly from a central location using a single user interface. SAP NetWeaver supports collaboration through virtual rooms, ad hoc collaboration, and the administration of collaborative services.
• Business task management – You can get the right tasks to the right people, so they can complete their tasks on time with the best results. With SAP NetWeaver, you can automate online processes, support offline processes, and coordinate access to tasks across the enterprise.
• Mobilizing business processes – You can extend new and existing business processes to your field force. SAP NetWeaver provides tools and capabilities to enable you to design and integrate front-end mobile user interfaces with back-end business processes.

The key IT activities involved with user productivity are enabled by the SAP NetWeaver Portal component, including its knowledge management and collaboration functionality, the SAP NetWeaver Mobile component, and SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe.
