Competing in today's business environment takes more than continuous improvement. It also requires constant innovation. And that means aligning existing systems with new business strategies.

Enter SAP xApps -- a new breed of application that enables continuous improvement and innovation. How? By combining existing, heterogeneous systems into cross-functional, end-to-end processes for increased competitive agility.

SAP xApps align people, information, and processes to let you execute enterprisewide strategies with greater ease and efficiency. And extend the value of your core business investments to maximize the return on your most strategic assets: employees, knowledge, products, business relationships, and IT.

With unique characteristics that aid business improvement and innovation, SAP xApps:

• Are cross-functional -- SAP xApps drive business processes across different applications, technologies, and organizations.
• Are composite -- SAP xApps flexibly integrate existing systems and new functional components into business processes.
• Are collaborative --SAP xApps enable ad hoc team collaboration as part of vital business processes.
• Are content-driven -- SAP xApps relate knowledge and structured information within the context of a business process.
• Close the loop -- SAP xApps help aggregate and contextualize relevant information, when triggered by event alerts.

The SAP xApps suite includes applications to drive innovation in two areas significant to business success: SAP xApp Resource and Program Management (SAP xRPM) dramatically improves your ability to manage and execute complex IT or R&D projects, and SAP xApp Mergers & Acquisitions (SAP xMA) expedites business processes across the entire M&A value chain.
